Hi Katherine, Check if this works: fraud_data = data.frame(no_of_frauds = c(1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10), frequency = c(3, 1, 7, 11, 13, 1, 4)) fraud_data1 <- rbind(fraud_data,c(11,10))
fun1 <- function(dat) { sum1 <- 0 for(i in 1:nrow(dat)){ sum1 <- sum1 + dat[i, "frequency"] dat[i,"frequency"] <- sum1 if(sum1> 5){ sum1 <- 0 } } indx <- which(dat$frequency >5) if(max(indx)==nrow(dat)) {res <- dat[dat$frequency >5,] } else{ dat[max(indx),"frequency"] <- sum(dat[c(max(indx),nrow(dat)),"frequency"]) res <- dat[dat$frequency > 5,] } res } fun1(fraud_data) # no_of_frauds frequency #3 4 11 #4 6 11 #5 7 18 fun1(fraud_data1) # no_of_frauds frequency #3 4 11 #4 6 11 #5 7 13 #8 11 15 A.K.

Yesterday I had raised one query to the forum but haven't received any response. If the time permits, will it be possible for you to at least have a look at it? I have following data.frame as fraud_data = data.frame(no_of_frauds = c(1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10), frequency = c(3, 1, 7, 11, 13, 1, 4)) > fraud_data no_of_frauds frequency 1 1 3 2 2 1 3 4 7 4 6 11 5 7 13 6 9 1 7 10 4 I need to regroup the data in such a way that if the frequency is less than 5, the corresponding class data gets merged to next class (or at times with previous class too) i.e. the frequencies get added till the added frequencies exceed 5. Thus, in above data.frame since frequencies pertaining to no_of_frauds 1 and 2 are 3 and 1 respectively, these get added to class 4 and the frequency of this class now becomes 3+1+7 = 11. Likewise, frequency of classes 9 and 10 are 1 and 4 and when these are added still it is 5 i.e. doesn't exceed 5. Thus, these should get added to the previous class i.e. 7. Thus I need to have no_of_frauds frequency 4 11 # ( 3 + 1 + 7) 6 11 7 18 # (13 + 1 + 4) If possible, pl go through it. Sorry to bother you.
