Dear R users The following question looks simple but I have spend alot of time to solve it. I would highly appeciate your help. I have following dataset from family dataset : Here we have individuals and their two parents and their marker scores (marker1, marker2,....and so on). 0 means that their parent information not available. Individual Parent1 Parent2 mark1 mark2 1 0 0 12 11 2 0 0 11 22 3 0 0 13 22 4 0 0 13 11 5 1 2 11 12 6 1 2 12 12 7 3 4 11 12 8 3 4 13 12 9 1 4 11 12 10 1 4 11 12 I want to recode mark1 and other mark2.....and so on column by looking indvidual parent (Parent1 and Parent2). For example Take case of Individual 5, who's Parent 1 is 1 (has mark1 score 12) and Parent 2 is 2 (has mark1 score 11). Individual 5 has mark1 score 11. Suppose I have following condition to recode Individual 5's mark1 score: For mark1 variable, If Parent1 score "11" and Parent2 score "22" and recode indvidual 5's score, "12"=1, else 0 If Parent1 score "12" and Parent2 score "22" and recode individual 5's score, "22"=1, "12"= 0.5, else 0 .........................more conditions Similarly the pointer should move from individual 5 to n individuals at the end of the file. Thank you in advance Umesh R
