Hi R user, I was trying to convert a long matrix to wide? I have an example and would like to get a table (FinalData1):
FinalData1 B1 B2 id_X "A" "B" id_Y "A" "B" but I got the following table using the following code. FinalData1 B1 B2 id_X "A" "A" id_Y "A" "B" the code and the example data I used are given below. Is there any suggestions to fix the problem? dat<-structure(list(ID = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L), .Label = c("id_X", "id_Y"), class = "factor"), EventDate = structure(c(4L, 5L, 2L, 3L, 1L), .Label = c("9/15/16", "9/15/17", "9/7/16", "9/8/16", "9/9/16"), class = "factor"), timeGroup = structure(c(1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 2L), .Label = c("B1", "B2"), class = "factor"), SITE = structure(c( 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 2L), .Label = c("A", "B"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("ID", "EventDate", "timeGroup", "SITE"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -5L)) tmp <- split(dat, dat$ID) tmp1 <- do.call(rbind, lapply(tmp, function(dat){ tb <- table(dat$timeGroup) idx <- which(tb>0) tb1 <- replace(tb, idx, as.character(dat$SITE)) })) tmp1 FinalData<-print(tmp1, quote=FALSE) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
