Hi Mohammad, You know, I thought this would be fairly easy, but it wasn't really.
df1<-data.frame(Class=c(0,2,1),Comment=c("com1","com2","com3"), Term=c("aac","aax","vvx"),Text=c("text1","text2","text3")) df2<-data.frame(Class=c(0,2,1),Comment=c("com1","com2","com3"), Term=c("aac","aax","vvx"),Text=c("text1","text2","text3")) df3<-data.frame(Class=c(2,1,0),Comment=c("com1","com2","com3"), Term=c("aac","aax","vvx"),Text=c("text1","text2","text3")) dflist<-list(df1,df2,df3) dflist # define a function that extracts the value from one field # selected by a value in another field extract_by_value<-function(x,field1,value1,field2) { return(x[x[,field1]==value1,field2]) } # define another function that equates all of the values sub_value<-function(x,field1,value1,field2,value2) { x[x[,field1]==value1,field2]<-value2 return(x) } conformity<-function(x,fieldname1,value1,fieldname2) { # get the most frequent value in fieldname2 # for the desired value in fieldname1 most_freq<-as.numeric(names(which.max(table(unlist(lapply(x, extract_by_value,fieldname1,value1,fieldname2)))))) # now set all the values to the most frequent for(i in 1:length(x)) x[[i]]<-sub_value(x[[i]],fieldname1,value1,fieldname2,most_freq) return(x) } conformity(dflist,"Text","text1","Class") Jim On Sat, May 23, 2015 at 11:23 PM, John Kane <jrkrid...@inbox.com> wrote: > Hi Mohammad > > Welcome to the R-help list. > > There probably is a fairly easy way to what you want but I think we probably > need a bit more background information on what you are trying to achieve.
