Hello R-help list, I would really appreciate help with my factoring problem.
My generated data is this: df <- expand.grid(T=seq(10,80, by=5), conc=rep(c(1, 3, 7), 2)) df$curve <- as.factor(rep(1:6, each=length(seq(10,80, by=5)))) df$counts <- 3*df$T/df$conc + rnorm(df$T,0,2) plot(counts~T, df) What I would like to do add a new column to the dataframe of zeroed data (say df$counts.zeroed). For each curve (designated by factor df$curve) I want to take the value in counts and subtract the minimum value for that curve. However, I don't really have an idea of how to approach this problem and haven't found anything in my searches. And just as a second question, my second line of code assigns the factors, but if there is a nicer way of doing this I would really appreciate knowing how. Thanks for any help!
