I am trying to assign increasing trip numbers to a binary variable ("land"; 1=home and 0=away) where a string of 1's shouldn't increment the trip_no more than once.
For example; based on land<-c(0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0) the "trip_no" sequence produced should be 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3 This is as far as I can get but Im stumped. In addition I need it to work on data where the land variable can start on "0" or "1" for trip_no=1. Any help would be hugely appreciated: land<-c(0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0) trip_no <- rep(0, length(land)) gg<-cbind(land,trip_no) increment <- function(x){ eval.parent(substitute(x <- x + 1)) } for(i in length(gg)){ if(gg$land[[i]]==1) { gg$trip_no<-increment(trip_no[i]) } } -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/conditional-increase-by-increment-tp4636910.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
