Dear R Experts, I am having some trouble creating a variable in R. I have data on self-placement of voters, their placement of parties, and which party they feel closest to. The data is structured like this:
Party_Close lrplaceself lrplaceParty1 lrplaceParty2 ... party1 2 4 5 party2 5 6 4 party1 6 2 1 etc... I want to format the data set so it looks like this: Party_Close lrplacepartyclose lrplaceself party1 4 2 party2 4 5 party1 2 6 Any help is greatly appreciated! With kind regards, Thomas ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
