Dear All, I have a database of 200 observations named myD. In the dataframe there are a column named code (with codes varying from 1 to 77), a column named "prevalence" with some quantitative measurements are given and an column named Pr_mean, with no values.
I would like to set a cycle to compute the average of prevalence values for each different code and store the averages under the empty field Pr_mean. This is what I wrote: # Set a cycle for (i in 1:nrow(myD)) { mycode = myD$code[i] mymean[i] = mean(prevalence) myD$Pr_mean[i] = mymean[i] } With the above cycle I am able to compute the average of all 200 observations which is then written in every cell. I understand that a condition is missing, that indicates that the average has to be computed amongst the observations showing the same codes values. Could you please help me ? D.
