Find and count the Missing values From the entire Data Frame

Find and Count Missing Values in the R DataFrame

Find and count the Missing values in one column of a Data Frame

In order to find the location of missing values and their count from the entire data frame pass the data frame name to the is.na() method. Let’s look into a program for finding and counting the missing values from the entire Data Frame.

R

# create a data frame 
stats <- data.frame(player=c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D'),
                 runs=c(100, 200, 408, NA),
                 wickets=c(17, 20, NA, 5))
 
# find location of missing values
print("Position of missing values ")
which(is.na(stats))
 
# count total missing values 
print("Count of total missing values  ")
sum(is.na(stats))

Output

[1] "Position of missing values "
[1]  8 11

[1] "Count of total missing values  "
[1] 2

In this code we created a Data frame “stats” that holds data of cricketers with few missing values. To determine the location and count of missing values in the given data we used which(is.na(stats)) and sum(is.na(stats)) methods.

Count the number of Missing Values with summary

R

# create a data frame 
stats <- data.frame(player=c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D'),
                    runs=c(NA, 200, 408, NA),
                    wickets=c(17, 20, NA, 8))
 
 
summary(stats)

Output:

    player               runs        wickets    
 Length:4           Min.   :200   Min.   : 8.0  
 Class :character   1st Qu.:252   1st Qu.:12.5  
 Mode  :character   Median :304   Median :17.0  
                    Mean   :304   Mean   :15.0  
                    3rd Qu.:356   3rd Qu.:18.5  
                    Max.   :408   Max.   :20.0  
                    NA's   :2     NA's   :1

Here in each column at last it will shows the number of missing values parsant in each columns.

Count the number of Missing Values with colSums

R

# create a data frame 
stats <- data.frame(player=c('A', 'B', 'C', 'D'),
                    runs=c(NA, 200, 408, NA),
                    wickets=c(17, 20, NA, 8))
 
colSums(is.na(stats))

Output:

 player    runs wickets 
      0       2       1
