I have a dataframe called cvar, with two variables (among many others) called MSA and ACTUP. Both are numeric. This was working fine. Then I found out that for two MSAs, ACTUP should be 1, not 0.
so I tried cvar$ACTUP[cvar$MSA == 6840] <- 1 cvar$ACTUP[cvar$MSA == 5360] <- 1 but when I try table(cvar$MSA, cvar$ACTUP) the level of ACTUP for those two MSAs has not changed, and is still 0 When I try cvar$MSA or cvar$ACTUP I get lists, as I expect. the MSA list includes 6840 and 5360 when I try cvar$ACTUP[cvar$MSA == 5360] I get numeric(0) Any ideas?
