[R] CONFUSSING WITH select[!miss] <- 1:sum(!miss)

[William Dunlap]

R is interactive so you can print the intermediate results:
> ph <- data.frame(M1=c(1,NA,3,4,5), X1=1:5, X2=c(1,2,NA,4,5), X3=1:5,
Y=c(11,12,13,14,NA), row.names=paste0("R",1:5))
> ph
   M1 X1 X2 X3  Y
R1  1  1  1  1 11
R2 NA  2  2  2 12
R3  3  3 NA  3 13
R4  4  4  4  4 14
R5  5  5  5  5 NA
> miss <- apply(is.na(ph[,c("M1","X1","X2","X3")]),1, any)
> miss
   R1    R2    R3    R4    R5
FALSE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE
> select <- integer(nrow(ph))
> select
[1] 0 0 0 0 0
> sum(!miss)
[1] 3
> select[!miss] <- 1:sum(!miss)
> select
[1] 1 0 0 2 3

Then you can look in the Introduction to R document or ask about the steps
that confuse you.
