[R] student looking for help with assignment in R

[PIKAL Petr]

Hi

What does it mean "to monitor". If you want to compute path length for each cell it seems to me that it is a simple problem of trigonometry

sqrt(a^2+b^2) = c

is a length of a segment between two points. a and b can be computed by differencing x and y coordinates.

If I read your data
tempx<-read.table("clipboard")
tempy<-read.table("clipboard")

I can make a plot
plot(tempx[,1], tempy[,1])
lines(tempx[,1], tempy[,1])

or

plot(tempx[,1], tempy[,1])
lines(tempx[1:3,1], tempy[1:3,1])

to see how one cell is moving

However it seems to me that your assignment is a homework and there is no-homework policy on this list, so it is enough from me for the time being. Sorry if it is not homework but anyway as a poor chemist I cannot help you further.

Besides, there was no r script attached.

Cheers
Petr
