Hello R-users,
The below is a snippet of my data:
fid crop year value
5_1_1 SWHE 1995 171
5_1_1 SWHE 1997 696
5_1_1 BARL 1996 114
5_1_1 BARL 1997 344
5_2_2 SWHE 1995 120
5_2_2 SWHE 1996 511
5_2_2 BARL 1996 239
5_2_2 BARL 1997 349
Here, I want to create dummy variables with the names of the content of a
column 'crop' in a way that the new variable 'SWHE' would receive a value of 1
if the column 'crop' contains 'SWHE' and 0 otherwise. So, I would have two new
variables SWHE and BARL as below:
fid crop year value SWHE BARL
5_1_1 SWHE 1995 171 1 0
5_1_1 SWHE 1997 696 1 0
5_1_1 BARL 1996 114 0 1
5_1_1 BARL 1997 344 0 1
5_2_2 SWHE 1995 120 1 0
5_2_2 SWHE 1996 511 1 0
5_2_2 BARL 1996 239 0 1
5_2_2 BARL 1997 349 0 1
Cheers,
