I have a data.frame df containing two variables: GRP: Factor VAL: num
I have a data.frame dp containing: GRP: Factor MIN.VAL: num MAX.VAL: num VAL2: num with several rows per "GRP" where dp[i-1, "MAX.VAL"] < dp[i, "MIN.VAL"] within the same "GRP". I want to create df[i, "VAL2"] <- dpp[z, "VAL2"] with i along df and dpp <- subset( dp, GRP = df[i, "GRP"] ) so that it is true for each i: df[i, "VAL"] > dpp[z, "MIN.VAL"] and df[i, "VAL"] <= dpp[z, "MAX.VAL"] Is there an easy/efficient way to do that? Example: df <- data.frame( GRP=c( "A", "A", "B" ), VAL=c( 10, 100, 200 ) ) dp <- data.frame( GRP=c( "A", "A", "B", "B" ), MIN.VAL=c( 1, 50, 1, 70 ), MAX.VAL=c( 49, 999, 59, 999 ), VAL2=c( 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4 ) ) The result should be: df$VAL2 <- c( 1.1, 2.2, 4.4 ) Thanks - Wolfram ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
