Dear colleagues,
I have a data frame that looks so:
*x1 .... x4
1 4.2
2 3.6
3 2.7
.
.
308 n.a.
x4 is a vector of percentages, sorted in descending value. I would
like to create a new variable that represents the sum of the series of
values of x4 to that row. So I would like x5 to look like this.
x5
1 4.2
2 7.8 (4.2 +3.6)
3 10.5 (4.2+3.6+2.7)
308 =na
So the last number in the vector x5 should be 100, as these are all
percentages.
Any suggestions? Yours truly,
simon Kiss
