Hi R Experts,
How do I mark rows in dataframe based on a condition that's based off another
row in the same dataframe?
I want to mark any combination of FY,ID, TT=='HC' rows that have a
FY,ID,TT=='TER' row with a 1. In my example below this is rows 4, 7 and 11.
My data looks something like this:
FY ID TT
1 FY09 1 HC
2 FY10 1 HC
3 FY11 1 HC
4 FY12 1 HC
5 FY12 1 TER
6 FY09 2 HC
7 FY10 2 HC
8 FY10 2 TER
9 FY11 2 HC
10 FY12 2 HC
11 FY13 2 HC
12 FY13 2 TER
I know for this specific example I can use:
HTDF$EXCL3<-1*duplicated(HTDF[,1:2],fromLast=T)
However my actual data set is NOT sorted by FY, ID and TT. TT is a binary
factor variable. I want to know if there is another way of doing the same thing
without sorting the data.
I tried the last line of code below but it gave me unexpected results. It marks
the first three rows with 0 and everything else with 1. Based on the warning
messages looks like it has something to do with longer object length is not a
multiple of shorter object length. But I am now stumped.
#REPRODUCIBLE EXAMPLE
FY<-factor(c("FY09","FY10","FY11","FY12","FY12","FY09","FY10","FY10","FY11","FY12","FY13","FY13"))
ID<-c(rep(1,5),rep(2,7))
TT<-factor(c(rep("HC",4),"TER","HC","HC","TER","HC","HC","HC","TER"))
HTDF<-data.frame(FY,ID,TT)
#Summarize data and get max TT. TT is a binary factor variable
library(sqldf)
HTDF.MAX<-sqldf('SELECT ID,FY,Max(TT) "MAXTT" FROM HTDF GROUP BY ID,FY')
# Initiate new variable and assign 0 or 1
HTDF$EXCL<-0
# THIS IS WHERE I AM GETTING UNEXPECTE RESULTS
HTDF$EXCL<-ifelse(HTDF$FY==HTDF.MAX$FY&HTDF$ID==HTDF.MAX$ID&HTDF$TT==HTDF.MAX$MAXTT,0,1)
