I have a df called 'covs' with sites on rows and in columns, 9 different environmental variables for each of these sites. I need to recalculate the value of each cell using the function x - center_values(x)) / scale_values(x)
. However, 'center_values' and 'scale_values' are different for each environmental covariate, and they are located in another df called 'correction'.
I have found many solutions for applying a function for a whole df, but not for applying specific values according to the id of the value to transform.
covs <- read.table(text = "X elev builtup river grip pa npp treecov

Could someone help me write a code to recalculate the environmental covariate values in 'covs' using the specific covariate values reported in 'correction'? Eg For each value in the column 'elev' of the df 'covs', I need to substract the 'center_value' reported for 'elev' in the 'corrected' df, and then divided by the 'scale_value' of 'elev' reported in 'corrected' df. Thank you for your kind help.
You may assign var_name
to row names, then loop over the names of covs
to do the calculations in an sapply
.
rownames(correction) <- correction$var_name
res <- as.data.frame(sapply(names(covs), function(x, y)
(covs[, x] - correction[x, "center_values"])/correction[x, "scale_values"]))
res
# X elev builtup river grip pa npp treecov

Check eg "elev"
:
(covs[,"elev"] - correction["elev", "center_values"]) / correction["elev", "scale_values"]
