Remove NA values from a vector?

Question

I have a huge vector which has a couple of `NA` values, and I'm trying to find the max value in that vector (the vector is all numbers), but I can't do this because of the `NA` values.How can I remove the `NA` values so that I can compute the max?

Answer 1

run is.na() on the vector TRUE data points will be NA.

if your vector is x

x[!is.na(x)] should work.
