Given x <- c(3,2,4,3,5,4,3,2,4,5) y <- c("A","B","B","A","A","A","A","B","A","B") xy <- cbind(x,y)
and am wanting to create a new variable "w" where if y=="A" then w==x*10 else w==x*15 such that I end up with a dataframe x y w [1,] 3 "A" 30 [2,] 2 "B" 30 [3,] 4 "B" 60 [4,] 3 "A" 30 [5,] 5 "A" 50 [6,] 4 "A" 40 [7,] 3 "A" 30 [8,] 2 "B" 30 [9,] 4 "A" 40 [10,] 5 "B" 75 ifelse, if then, or for loop Jeff ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
