Hi,
I have a very big data frame and I would like to apply a function to one of the
columns within different groups and obtain another dataframe
My data frame is like this:
group var1 var2 myvar
group1 1 a 100
group2 2 b 200
group2 34 c 300
group3 5 d 400
group3 6 e 500
group4 7 f 600
and I woud like to apply this function to column myvar:
mifunc = function(vec) {
vec=as.vector(vec)
for (i in 1:(length(vec)-1)){
vec[i]=vec[i+1]-1
}
return(vec)
}
by the groups in column group. I would like to obtain the same dataframe but
with f(myvar) instead of myvar.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Estefania
