可能重复：
用最新的非 NA 值替换 NA

如何使用每列的先前值填充缺失的信息？

我不确定这是否是最好的方法。可能有一些具有该功能的软件包。以下方法可能不是性能最好的方法，但它确实有效，并且对于中小型数据集应该没问题。我会谨慎地将它应用于非常大的数据集（超过一百万行或类似的东西）

fillNAByPreviousData <- function(column) {
    # At first we find out which columns contain NAs
    navals <- which(is.na(column))
    # and which columns are filled with data.
    filledvals <- which(! is.na(column))

    # If there would be no NAs following each other, navals-1 would give the
    # entries we need. In our case, however, we have to find the last column filled for
    # each value of NA. We may do this using the following sapply trick:
    fillup <- sapply(navals, function(x) max(filledvals[filledvals < x]))

    # And finally replace the NAs with our data.
    column[navals] <- column[fillup]
    column
}

这是使用测试数据集的一些示例：

set.seed(123)
test <- 1:20
test[floor(runif(5,1, 20))] <- NA

> test
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5 NA  7 NA  9 10 11 12 13 14 NA 16 NA NA 19 20

> fillNAByPreviousData(test)
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  5  7  7  9 10 11 12 13 14 14 16 16 16 19 20
