I need some help with sub-setting my data. I am trying to divide a data frame
into multiple data frames based on the year collected, and stored in a list
with each new data frame labeled with "year X" where X is the year the data was
collected. When I run my current code I get nine error messages stating
"In one_year[name] <- myear : number of items to replace is not a multiple of
replacement length"What I have so far is:
Below is my code, the data frame mydat, and what I would like the final product
to look like. I would appreciate any help or suggestions on what I am doing
wrong.
Thanks,
Tim
one_year<-list()
for (i in min(mydat$Year):max(mydat$Year)) #Loops from first to last year in
dataset
{
myear<-mydat[mydat$Year==i,]
name<-paste("Year",i)
one_year[name]<-myear
}
mydat:
