How to recode multiple-conditionals to -1/0/+1?












1















I have my data like:



Name A B C
apple 1 -1 0
banana 2 -2 1
pear -3 0 1


I want to replace all positive value to -1, all negative values to +1, but remain the 0 to be 0, how do I achieve that?

          We could use sign to get the sign of all the elements of the dataframe and then reverse it by multiplying it to -1.



          df[-1] <- sign(df[-1]) * -1

          df
          # Name A B C
          #1 apple -1 1 0
          #2 banana -1 1 -1
          #3 pear 1 0 -1


          From ?sign




          sign returns a vector with the signs of the corresponding elements of x (the sign of a real number is 1, 0, or -1 if the number is positive, zero, or negative, respectively).




          data



          df <- structure(list(Name = structure(1:3, .Label = c("apple", "banana", 
          "pear"), class = "factor"), A = c(-1, -1, 1), B = c(1, 1, 0),
          C = c(0, -1, -1)), .Names = c("Name", "A", "B", "C"), row.names = c(NA,
          -3L), class = "data.frame")

            why not simplify to -sign(df[-1])?

          By no means this is as good as the top voted, but here is an alternative:



          ans <- df1[,-1] / -abs(df1[,-1])
          ans[sapply(ans,is.nan)] <- 0

          #> ans
          # A B C
          #1 -1 1 0
          #2 -1 1 -1
          #3 1 0 -1
