Attached is every at bat for the Arizona Diamondback’s first three games of 2018 – BBdata1.rda. I added the Date and DHCode variables by parsing the first variable labeled GameID.
BBdata2 is a reduced dataset with five variables as shown in the str() command. data.frame': 234 obs. of 5 variables: $ GameID : Factor w/ 3 levels "ARI201803290",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ Date : Date, format: "2018-03-29" "2018-03-29" "2018-03-29" "2018-03-29" ... $ DHCode : Factor w/ 1 level "0": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ GameNum: num 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ Date2 : Date, format: NA "2018-03-29" "2018-03-29" "2018-03-29" ... I’m trying to increment the GameNum (game number) to game 2 when the date changes from 2018-03-29 to 2018-03-30 in row 81 and to game 3 in row 165. According to my R for Dummies book the following code should work but it doesn’t. I keep getting the following error. Any suggestions? if(ari18.test3$Date > lag(ari18.test3$Date)) {ari18.test3$gameNum <- ari18.tesm3$GameNum + 1} Warning message: In if (ari18.test3$Date > lag(ari18.test3$Date)) { : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used > Thanks. ______________________________________________ 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.
