I want to apply any function to elements which I found its location with which.max function. For example, my sample data is below:
$Apr $Apr$`04-2036` date value 92 04-01-2036 0.00 93 04-02-2036 3.13 94 04-03-2036 20.64 $Apr$`04-2037` date value 457 04-01-2037 5.32 458 04-02-2037 82.47 459 04-03-2037 15.56 $Dec $Dec$`04-2039` date value 1431 12-01-2039 3 1432 12-02-2039 0 1433 12-03-2039 11 $Dec$`04-2064` date value 10563 12-01-2064 0 10564 12-02-2064 5 10565 12-03-2064 0 data<-structure(list(Apr = structure(list(`04-2036` = structure(list( date = c("04-01-2036", "04-02-2036", "04-03-2036"), value = c(0, 3.13, 20.64)), .Names = c("date", "value"), row.names = 92:94, class = "data.frame"), `04-2037` = structure(list(date = c("04-01-2037", "04-02-2037", "04-03-2037"), value = c(5.32, 82.47, 15.56)), .Names = c("date", "value"), row.names = 457:459, class = "data.frame")), .Names = c("04-2036", "04-2037")), Dec = structure(list(`04-2039` = structure(list( date = c("12-01-2039", "12-02-2039", "12-03-2039"), value = c(3, 0, 11)), .Names = c("date", "value"), row.names = 1431:1433, class = "data.frame"), `04-2064` = structure(list(date = c("12-01-2064", "12-02-2064", "12-03-2064"), value = c(0, 5, 0)), .Names = c("date", "value" ), row.names = 10563:10565, class = "data.frame")), .Names = c("04-2039", "04-2064"))), .Names = c("Apr", "Dec")) I have found locations of maximum values for each element in lists of list using the functions below.
drop<-function(y){ lapply(y, function(x)(x[!(names(x) %in% c("date"))])) } q1<-lapply(data, drop) q2<-lapply(q1, function(x) unlist(x,recursive = FALSE)) daily_max<-lapply(q2, function(x) lapply(x, max)) dailymax <- data.frame(matrix(unlist(daily_max), nrow=length(daily_max), byrow=TRUE)) row.names(dailymax)<-names(daily_max) apply(dailymax, 1, which.max) Locations of max. values of each element is computed as it is seen below;
Apr Dec 2 1 Now, I want to apply any function to these elements automatically for all my data(it is Apr 2 = Apr$04-2037 and Dec$2039).
