ListeRs, Within the last two months, I thought I saw mention of an R function that would create a new data frame composed of duplicates or multiple copies of rows of an input data frame given one or several columns of values indicating how many times each row should be copied. As a simple example, given a dataframe:
> in.df x y 1 A 1 2 B 2 3 C 3 "func.name (in.df, in.df$y)" would produce something like: x y 1 A 1 2 B 2 3 B 2 4 C 3 5 C 3 6 C 3 For the life of me, I can't remember what that function was called, nor can I find it using help.search or RSiteSearch on terms like "duplicate" or "copy". Perhaps it had another primary purpose, but this was a side-effect or secondary capability. Was I hallucinating, or does this exist as a function in base R? Or, will I have to make one with "rep"?
