Dear friends - I hope you will forgive me another simple question,
illustrated by
ID <- c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3)
PERIOD <- c(1,2,3,2,3,1,2,3)
X <- runif(8,0,10))
Extraneous paren removed:
FF <- data.frame(ID=ID,PERIOD=PERIOD,X=X)
I need to the fourth value of X as NA, and ID and PERIOD is updated
to 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3 and 1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 respectively.
How do I use the pattern in ID and PERIOD to find the lacking X and
put NA?

2 1 2 0.5749111
3 1 3 8.7895630
4 2 1 NA
