Hi All, Is there an easy way to reduce a data.frame to 1 'id' per row while keeping information from the other rows of that same variable, if applicable? e.g.:
# data multi[1:15,] id r n wi wi.tau z k alliance a.rater eml treatment outcome o.rater german 1 100 0.2800000 44 41 21.72514 0.2876821 210 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> Client <NA> 2 100 0.2800000 44 41 21.80953 0.2876821 182 <NA> <NA> Early <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> 3 100 0.2800000 44 41 22.36641 0.2876821 206 <NA> Client <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> 4 100 0.2800000 44 41 23.59224 0.2876821 188 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> Other 5 100 0.2800000 44 41 23.83157 0.2876821 147 WAI <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> 6 101 0.0000000 37 34 19.65678 0.0000000 182 <NA> <NA> Early <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> 7 101 0.5423790 37 34 17.65078 0.6075200 98 <NA> <NA> <NA> Psychodymic <NA> <NA> <NA> 8 101 0.5423790 37 34 19.58820 0.6075200 210 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> Observer <NA> 9 101 0.5423790 37 34 21.09334 0.6075200 188 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> Other 10 101 0.9075737 37 34 19.65678 1.5135878 182 <NA> <NA> Late <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> 11 103a 0.4950000 18 15 10.36364 0.5426615 90 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> SCL <NA> <NA> 12 103a 0.6171548 18 15 11.32425 0.7203964 210 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> Observer <NA> 13 103a 0.6171548 18 15 11.34714 0.7203964 182 <NA> <NA> Early <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> 14 103a 0.6171548 18 15 11.49606 0.7203964 206 <NA> Client <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> 15 103a 0.6171548 18 15 11.81150 0.7203964 188 <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> Other # with the goal of having a reduced df (1 id per row) like this: id r n wi wi.tau z k alliance a.rater eml treatment outcome o.rater german 1 100 0.2800000 44 41 21.72514 0.2876821 210 wai client early <NA> <NA> Client other 101 etc... Ideally, I would like to reduce by id and r, if the values are the same and keep any discrepant values as a separate row (if possible), e.g.: 6 101 0.0000000 37 34 19.65678 0.0000000 182 <NA> <NA> Early <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> 7 101 0.5423790 37 34 17.65078 0.6075200 98 <NA> <NA> Late Psychodymic <NA> Observer Other I appreciate any assistance, AC [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
