Hi R User. I have a date set in which I wanted to find the duration (period) between released time and detection time for each individual. Is there any simplest way to create a matrix? I appreciate your help.
Thanks, MW -------------- Here is the example data, dAT<-structure(list(Id = structure(c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 5L, 4L, 1L, 6L, 6L, 3L, 4L, 1L), .Label = c("a", "b", "c", "e", "f", "m"), class = "factor"), date = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 5L, 4L, 1L, 5L, 5L, 3L, 1L, 2L, 7L, 6L, 8L), .Label = c("1-Jan-18", "1-Jul-18", "10-Mar-18", "15-Jan-18", "2-Jan-18", "27-Jan-18", "3-Jan-18", "7-Mar-19"), class = "factor")), .Names = c("Id", "date"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -14L)) #and the results looks like Result<-structure(list(Id = structure(1:6, .Label = c("a", "b", "c", "e", "f", "m"), class = "factor"), intial.released.date = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L), .Label = c("1-Jan-18", "2-Jan-18"), class = "factor"), duration.between.t2.and.t1 = c(14L, 0L, 2L, 0L, NA, 181L), duration.between.t3.and.t1 = c(68L, NA, NA, 25L, NA, NA), duration.between.t4.and.t1 = c(430L, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA), duration.between.t3.and.t2 = c(54L, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA), duration.between.t4.and.t2 = c(416L, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA)), .Names = c( "Id", "intial.released.date", "duration.between.t2.and.t1", "duration.between.t3.and.t1", "duration.between.t4.and.t1", "duration.between.t3.and.t2", "duration.between.t4.and.t2" ), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -6L)) [[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.
