Hi, Is there an efficient way recoding variables in a data.frame using base R? My purpose is to create new variables and attach them into old data.frame. The basic idea is shown below, but how to create recoding for A, B and C and assing them into new variables?
df <- data.frame(A = c(1:5), B = c(3,6,2,8,10), C = c(0,15,5,9,12)) df$A[df$A <= 3] <- "x" df$A[df$A > 3 & df$A <= 8] <- "y" df$A[df$A <= 16] <- "z" Thanks, -J ______________________________________________ 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.
