Dear Contributors,
I have a problem with a database composed of many individuals for many
periods, for which I need to perform a manipulation of data as follows.
Here I report the procedure I need to do for the first 32 observations of
the first period.
cbind(VB1d[,1],s1id[,1])
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 6 8
[2,] 9 5
[3,] NA 1
[4,] 5 6
[5,] NA 7
[6,] NA 2
[7,] 4 4
[8,] 2 7
[9,] 2 7
[10,] NA 3
[11,] NA 2
[12,] NA 4
[13,] 5 6
[14,] 9 5
[15,] NA 5
[16,] NA 6
[17,] 10 3
[18,] 7 2
[19,] 2 1
[20,] NA 7
[21,] 7 2
[22,] NA 8
[23,] NA 4
[24,] NA 5
[25,] NA 6
[26,] 2 1
[27,] 4 4
[28,] 6 8
[29,] 10 3
[30,] NA 3
[31,] NA 8
[32,] NA 1
In column s1id, I have numbers from 1 to 8, which are the id of 8 groups ,
randomly mixed in the larger group of 32.
For each group, I want the value that is reported for only to group
members, to all the four group members.
For example, value 8 in first row , second column, is group 8. The value
for group 8 of the variable VB1d is 6. At row 28, again for s1id equal to
8, I have 6.
But in row 22, the value 8 of the second variable, reports a value NA.
in each group is the same, only two values have the correct number, the
other two are NA.
I need that each group, identified by the values of the variable S1id,
correctly report the number of variable VB1d that is present for just two
group members.
I hope my explanation is acceptable.
The task appears complex to me right now, especially because I will need to
multiply this procedure for x12x14 similar databases.
Anyone has ever encountered a similar problem?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
