Hello:
Forgive me, this is surely a simple question but I can't figure it out, having
consulted the help archives and "Data Manipulation With R" (Spector).
I have a list of 11 data frames with one common variable in each (prov). I'd
like to use lapply to go through and recode one particular level of that common
variable.
I can get the recode to work, but it only returns the variable that has been
recoded. I need the whole data frame with the recoded variable.
Thank you for your help. Reproducible data and my current code are below.
####Sample Data
mylist<-list(df1=data.frame(a=seq(1,10,1), prov=c(rep('QUE', 5), rep('BC',
5))), df2=data.frame(a=seq(1,10,1), prov=c(rep('Quebec', 5), rep('AB', 5))))
str(mylist)
###My current code
lapply(mylist, function(x) {
recode(x$prov, "'QUE'='QC' ; 'Quebec'='QC'")
}
)
