So I'm trying to generate a frequency spectrum, and in order to do that I'm trying to sort my data into bins from a column, which I have appended data from, called minorallelefreq. For some reason, the code is not working because I get a value of 0 for all 5 bins.
Here's the code:
minprop = 0
minprop1 = 0
minprop2 = 0
minprop3 = 0
minprop4 = 0
for x in range(1,100):
if minorallelefreq[x] <= 0.1:
minprop = minprop + 1
if minorallelefreq[x] > 0.1 and minorallelefreq[x] <= 0.2:
minprop1 = minprop1 + 1
if minorallelefreq[x] > 0.2 and minorallelefreq[x] <= 0.3:
minprop2 = minprop2 + 1
if minorallelefreq[x] > 0.3 and minorallelefreq[x] <= 0.4:
minprop3 = minprop3 + 1
if minorallelefreq[x] > 0.4 and minorallelefreq[x] <= 0.5:
minprop4 = minprop4 + 1
bin1 = minprop/float(counter)
bin2 = minprop1/float(counter)
bin3 = minprop2/float(counter)
bin4 = minprop3/float(counter)
bin5 = minprop4/float(counter)
print "Bin1 (0-0.1)=", bin1, "\t", "Bin2 (0.1-0.2)=", bin2, "\t", "Bin3 (0.2-0.3)=", bin3, "\t", "Bin4 (0.3-0.4)=", bin4, "\t", "Bin5 (0.4-0.5)=", bin5
So it turned out that the reason the loops weren't working is because python wasn't reading my values (which are all decimals) as decimals. So, I had to change it to float(minorallelefreq[x]), and it worked.
