Suppose you have 4 related vectors:
a.id<-c(1:25, 1:25, 1:25)
a.vals <- c(101:175) # same length as a.id (the values for those IDs)
a.id.levels <- c(1:25)
a.id.ratings <- rep(letters[1:5], times=5) # same length as a.id.levels
What I would like to do is specify a rating from a.ratings (e.g. "e"),
get the vector of corresponding IDs from a.id.levels (via
a.id.levels[a.id.ratings=='e']) and then somehow use those IDs in a.id
to get the corresponding values from a.vals.
I think I can probably write a loop to construct of a vector of
ratings of the same length as a.id so that the ratings match the ID,
and then go from there. Is there a better way? Perhaps using factors
or levels or something?
Thanks,
