Hi all, I would like to use a loop for tasks that occurs repeatedly:
# Groups # Umsatz <= 0: 1 (NICHT kaufend) # Umsatz > 0: 2 (kaufend) for (year in c("2011", "2012", "2013", "2014", "2015")) { paste0("Kunden$Kunde_real_", year) <- (paste0("Kunden$Umsatz_", year) <= 0) * 1 + (paste0("Kunden$Umsatz_", year) > 0) * 2 paste0("Kunden$Kunde_real_", year) <- factor(paste0("Kunden$Umsatz_", year), levels = c(1, 2), labels = c("NICHT kaufend", "kaufend")) } This actually does not work due to the fact that the expression "paste0("Kunden$Kunde_real_", year)" ist not interpreted as a variable name by the R script language interpreter. Is there a way to assembly variable names on the fly in R?
