Hello,

Bert:

Quoting Jeff, "Val has been posting to this list for almost a decade". I didn't know about the "decade" part (didn't look it up) but that's why I answered the question.

Val:

It's not that hard to run the code you post *before* posting it. Please.

Val has been posting to this list for almost a decade [1] so seems unlikely to 
be a student... but in all this time has yet to figure out how to post in plain 
text to avoid corruption of code on this plain text mailing list. The ability 
to generate small examples has improved, though execution still seems hazy. Why 
is there an ID column in dat2 at all?

Try

dat3 <- dat1[ 1,, drop=FALSE ]
dat3$Index <- as.matrix( dat1[ -1 ] ) %*% dat2$weight

dat1 is wrong also. It should read:

dat1 <-read.table(text="ID, x, y, z
                  A, 10,  34, 12
                  B, 25,  42, 18
               C, 14,  20,  8 ",sep=",",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=F)

Is this a homework problem?  This list has a no homework policy.

Cheers,
Bert

Hi  all

Correction for my previous posting.
dat2 should be read as
dat2 <-read.table(text="ID, weight
A,  0.25
B,  0.42
C,  0.65 ",sep=",",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=F)

Hi All,

I have two data frames   with thousand  rows  and several columns.
My
samples of the data frames are shown below

dat1 <-read.table(text="ID, x, y, z
ID , x, y, z
A, 10,  34, 12
B, 25,  42, 18
C, 14,  20,  8 ",sep=",",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=F)

dat2 <-read.table(text="ID, x, y, z
ID, weight
A,  0.25
B,  0.42
C,  0.65 ",sep=",",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=F)

My goal is to  create an index value  for each ID  by mutliplying
the
first row of dat1 by the second  column of dat2.

   (10*0.25 ) + (34*0.42) + (12*0.65)=  24.58
   (25*0.25 ) + (42*0.42) + (18*0.65)=  35.59
   (14*0.25 ) + (20*0.42) + (  8*0.65)=  19.03

The  desired out put is
dat3
ID, Index
A 24.58
B  35.59
C  19.03

How do I do it in an efficent way?

Thank you,
