Hi all! I have data in „Long“ format which I would like to reshape to „Wide“. I know that one possibility is the „reshape“ command, which needs a „timevar“.
Data look as follows: There are approx. 3000 persons („IDENTITY“) and, for each person, there are between 2 and 20 events („EVENT“). For now, there's one row for each event (9506 rows) http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3643658/Screenshot-2.png What is missing is the „timevar“ (SPSS calls it „INDEX“), which numbers the events WITHIN each person (right column). I managed to number the events from 1 to 9506 with the seq-command, first writing the number of rows in nEVENT: > number <-seq(file=event, 1, nEVENT, b=1) Yet, I didn't manage to do so for each individual separately. I guess it would be possible with the „split“ command, but I can't figure out how to apply it. Can anyone give me a hint? Thank you!
