Re: [R] subsetting with by() or other function??
maybe an example of the data you have and the data you want could be
helpful for the people of the list to understand, and so to be able to

Re: [R] subsetting with by() or other function??
I think this should be something like:
dat$LAG1DBC - tapply(dat$DBC, dat$LOCID, function(x) c(NA,
x[-length(x)]))
I hope it helps.

sorted by year within locid within population and I want to lag another
variable
