How to Exchange NA with FALSE in R (Example Code)

In this article, I’ll show how to replace NA by FALSE in the R programming language.

Creation of Example Data

my_df <- data.frame(col_a = c(NA, TRUE, NA, TRUE, NA),  # Example data in R
                    col_b = c(TRUE, NA, TRUE, NA, TRUE))
my_df                                                   # Display example data in RStudio console
#   col_a col_b
# 1    NA  TRUE
# 2  TRUE    NA
# 3    NA  TRUE
# 4  TRUE    NA
# 5    NA  TRUE

Example: Substitute NA by FALSE Using is.na() Function

my_df[is.na(my_df)] <- FALSE                            # Exchange NA with FALSE
my_df                                                   # Display replaced data frame
#   col_a col_b
# 1 FALSE  TRUE
# 2  TRUE FALSE
# 3 FALSE  TRUE
# 4  TRUE FALSE
# 5 FALSE  TRUE
