Hi,
I apologize for the confusion. I will try to be clearer in my explanation.
I believe that with the R script it becomes clearer.
I have 4 variables with 10 repetitions and each one receives a value,
randomly.
I order the dataset from largest to smallest value. I have to select 10
elements in
descending order of values, according to one of three schemes:
# 3A - 3B - 2C - 2D
# 2A - 5B - 0C - 3D
# 3A - 4B - 2C - 1D
If the first 3 elements (out of the 10 to be selected) are of the letter D,
automatically
the adopted scheme will be the second. So, I have to (following) choose 2A,
5B and 0C.
How to make the selection automatically?
I created two selection examples, with different schemes:
set.seed(123)
Var.1 = rep(LETTERS[1:4], 10)
Var.2 = sample(1:40, replace=FALSE)
data = data.frame(Var.1, Var.2)
(Order = data[order(data$Var.2, decreasing=TRUE), ])
# I must select the 10 highest values (),
# but which follow a certain scheme:
#
# 3A - 3B - 2C - 2D or
# 2A - 5B - 0C - 3D or
# 3A - 4B - 2C - 1D
#
# In this case, I started with the highest value that refers to the letter
C.
# Next comes only 1 of the letters B, A and D. All are selected once.
# The fifth observation is the letter C, completing 2 C values. In this
case,
# following the 3 adopted schemes, note that the second scheme has 0C,
# so this scheme is out.
# Therefore, it can be the first scheme (3A - 3B - 2C - 2D) or the
# third scheme (3A - 4B - 2C - 1D).
# The next letter to be completed is the D (fourth and seventh elements),
# among the 10 elements being selected. Therefore, the scheme adopted is
the
# first one (3A - 3B - 2C - 2D).
# Therefore, it is necessary to select 2 values with the letter B and 1
value
# with the letter A.
#
# Manual Selection -
# The end result is:
(Selected.data = Order[c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,13,16), ])
# Scheme: 3A - 3B - 2C - 2D
sort(Selected.data$Var.1)
#------------------
# Second example: -
#------------------
set.seed(4)
Var.1 = rep(LETTERS[1:4], 10)
Var.2 = sample(1:40, replace=FALSE)
data = data.frame(Var.1, Var.2)
(Order = data[order(data$Var.2, decreasing=TRUE), ])
# The end result is:
(Selected.data.2 = Order[c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11), ])
# Scheme: 3A - 4B - 2C - 1D
sort(Selected.data.2$Var.1)
How to make the selection of the 10 elements automatically?
Thank you very much.
