Dear R users, I have this data frame, y samp 8 0.03060419 X 18 0.06120838 Y 10 0.23588374 X 3 0.32809965 X 1 0.36007100 X 7 0.36730571 X 20 0.47176748 Y 13 0.65619929 Y 11 0.72014201 Y 17 0.73461142 Y 6 0.76221313 X 2 0.77005691 X 4 0.92477243 X 9 0.93837591 X 5 0.98883581 X 16 1.52442626 Y 12 1.54011381 Y 14 1.84954487 Y 19 1.87675183 Y 15 1.97767162 Y
and I am trying to find the number of X's that occur before ith Y occurs. For example, there is 1 X before the first Y, so I get 1. There are 4 X's before the second Y, so I get 4, there is no X between second and third Y, so I get 0 and so on. Any hint to at least help me to start this will be appreciated. Thanks a lot!
