Hi R'ers:
I need a jump start to obtain my objective.
Assistance is greatly appreciated.

#Given Gender Dataset
r1 <- c( 1, 2, 3)
c1 <- c( "male", "female", "NA")
GENDER <- data.frame(r1,c1)
names(d1_3) <- c("ID","Gender")
GENDER
--------------
_OBJECTIVE_: To dummify GENDER,
i.e., to generate two new numeric columns,
Gender_male and Gender_female,
such that:
when Gender="male" then Gender_male=1 and Gender_female=0
when Gender="female" then Gender_male=0 and Gender_female=1
when Gender="NA" then Gender_male=0 and Gender_female=0
So, with the given dataset, the resultant dataset would be as follows:
Desired Extended Gender Dataset
ID Gender Gender_male Gender_female
1 male 1 0
2 female 0 1
3 NA 0 0
