I am doing the data transpose with rename as shown below (step1 ~ step4)
1. Is any way in R similar to PROC TRANSPOSE used in SAS?2. How to use
MACRO-LOOP to simplify the following procedure?
THANK YOU FOR HELPS!
# create data for test
x<-data.frame(
a=c(1,2,3),
b=c("1","2","3"));
x; str(x)# step1: parse out to 3 tabs
x1<-x[x$a == 1,]; x1
x2<-x[x$a == 2,]; x2
x3<-x[x$a == 3,]; x3# step2: remove column a in each tab
x1$a<-NULL; x1
x2$a<-NULL; x2
x3$a<-NULL; x3# step3: rename column b to b1, b2 and b3 by y1, y2 and y3
names(x1)[names(x1)=="b"]<-"b_1"; x1
names(x2)[names(x2)=="b"]<-"b_2"; x2
names(x3)[names(x3)=="b"]<-"b_3"; x3# setp4: set x1, x3 and x3 together
x123=cbind(x1,x2,x3); x123
