Hi all,
Say I have a data frame something like the one below with different sample
vials, measured before(B) and after(A) some process, with a value recorded
at each measurement point
vial measure value
1 B 26
1 A 12
2 B 45
2 A 30
3 B 32
3 A 27
4 B 34
4 A 6
Is there an easy means by which I can subtract the after (A) measurements
from the before (B) measurement for each vial in this data frame so I am
left with a data frame that contains the vial number and difference between
A and B? I've played around with writing a function and applying it with
ddply, but haven't stumbled on a technique that works, though I feel there
should be something simple means of doing this that I'm just not seeing.
Thanks for you help,
Nate
