I have a dataset that I'm trying to rearrange for a repeated measures analysis:
It looks like:
patient basefev1 fev11h fev12h fev13h fev14h fev15h fev16h fev17h fev18h drug
201 2.46 2.68 2.76 2.50 2.30 2.14 2.40 2.33 2.20 a
202 3.50 3.95 3.65 2.93 2.53 3.04 3.37 3.14 2.62 a
203 1.96 2.28 2.34 2.29 2.43 2.06 2.18 2.28 2.29 a
204 3.44 4.08 3.87 3.79 3.30 3.80 3.24 2.98 2.91 a
And I want to make it look like:
Patient FEV time drug
201 2.46 0 a
201 2.68 1 a
201 2.76 2 a
201 2.50 3 a
And so on . . . . . There would be 9 "time" and drug is a factor variable.
I know there is a way to do this in R but I cannot remember the function. I've
looked at the transpose function in (base) but that doesn't seem to be what I
want. Can something like this be done easily from within package functions or
would it require writing something custom? Another program would use something
like the transpose procedure, but I'm trying to stay away from that program.
Thanks,
Patrick
