Hi,
Not sure I understand your question.
Suppose `data1` is your real data, but if the column names are different, change
"V21", "V2" by those in the real data. Based on your initial
post, the column names seemed to be the same.
mean(data1$V21[data1$V2==1|data1$V2==0])
A.K.?
What values would I substitute by real data. ?I did everything the way
you posted, and I got 3.8 as well. ?So I'm curious what values I would
change to get the mean for the actual data?

HI,
Try this:
set.seed(485)
dat1<- as.data.frame(matrix(sample(0:10,26*10,replace=TRUE),ncol=26))
mean(dat1$V21[dat1$V2==1|dat1$V2==0])
#[1] 3.8
#or
with(dat1,mean(V21[V2==1|V2==0]))
#[1] 3.8
A.K.
I have data in 26 columns, I'm trying to get a mean for column 21 only for
the participants that are either 0 or 1 in column 2.
One of the commands I tried looked something like this
mean(data1$V21, if(V2 = 1)) ?
So basically I need to have the program run a mean (and later
other forms of analysis) on participants based on their condition.
either 0 or 1.
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
