Convert negative values to zero in dataframe in R

Question

I have a dataframe in R that I would like to convert all columns (outside the ids) from negative to zero

id1  id2  var1  var2  var3
-1   -1   0     -33     5         


        

Answer 1

We can use data.table

setDT(d1)
for(j in grep('^var', names(d1))){
 set(d1, i= which(d1[[j]]<0), j= j, value=0)
}

d1
#    id1 id2 var1 var2 var3
# 1:  -1  -1    0    0    5
# 2:  -1  -2    9    0    0
