Since this involves time series within each id group I thought it would be interesting to see if this could be formulated using zoo series. The approach is to read it in, and convert it to a long form by just stacking the start and stop times in a data frame and converting that to zoo using the c

Folks: It is perhaps worth noting that this is probably a Type III error: right answer to the wrong question. The right question would be: what data structures and analysis strategy are appropriate in R? As usual, different language architectures mean that different paradigms should be used to be

Oops, I missed the HAART part. Fortunately that translates straightforwardly: n.dat$HAART <- with(n.dat, ifelse((NRTI >= 3 & NNRTI==0 & PI==0) | (NRTI >= 2 & (NNRTI >= 1 | PI >= 1)) | (NRTI == 1 & NNRTI >= 1 & PI >= 1),

I think this is kind of like asking "will your Land Rover make it up my driveway?", but I'll assume the question was asked in all seriousness. Here is one solution: ## Read in test data; dat <- read.table(textConnection("iddrug start stop 1004NRTI 07/24/9501/05/99
