Hello everyone,
I am new in R and I am trying to create a id number (a correlative sequence of numbers) by group, and a correlative sequence of numbers inside each group (my idea is to get statistics by group without having to aggregate the database). Here an example:

group   id_group        correlative_group
A               1               1
A               1               2
A               1               3
A               1               4
B               2               1
B               2               2
B               2               3
C               3               1
C               3               2
C               3               3
C               3               4
C               3               5

Unfortunately, I have been able to find an explicit lag function to get id_group (I know I can get it using aggregate and merge but I'm just wondering if there is another way to do it). With regard to the correlative_group, I don't have any clue about how to do it.

PD: Last question. Is there any way to save in a variable the internal that R uses (those numbers that appear on left side of a dataframe)?

Thank you,
Sebastian.
