Hello there,
I try to construct a variable with R, but I have some difficulties.
Assume that I use a data set named = mydata. I want to create a variable
that is the mean (totmean) or the sum (totsum) of 6 variables (var1, var2,
var3, var4, var5, var6). However, I want only participants who have
responded to at least 4 items to be include. Those who have one or two
missing for var1-var6 should be coded NA for totmean and totsum.
How I do that?
Write a function that computes what you want for a vector of 6 values.
Then put the data into an array, and use apply( the_array, 1,
your_function) to compute it for the full dataset.
