I would like to replace a few varaibles within a data frame. For example, in the dataframe below (contrived) I would like to replace the current housesize value only if the Location is HSV. However, I would like to leave the other values intact.
I tried "ifelse", but I don't really need the else condition. test_data2_df<-data.frame(Variables=c("SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage","SQR Footage"),HouseSize=c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58), Lot=c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51), Location=c("HSV", "ATH", "HSV", "ATH", "FLO", "HSV", "ATH", "HSV", "ATH", "FLO", "HSV", "ATH", "HSV", "ATH", "FLO")) Moreover, I want to preserve the rest of the values within the data. I thought some combination using the subset would get me there, but I ended up with a long and ungangly looking code. Thanks for any help that is offered. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
