I got advice here that I didn't understand! Can I ask to explain me the
meaning of this procedure: first get the structure, and then assign it back. For
what? Thanks!? (Great thanks to Moderator/Admin!)
You should learn to post in plain text and use dput to present your data
structures. At your console do this
dput(treat)
# and this will appear. Copy it to your plain-text message:
structure(list(ID = 1:5, start = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L), stop = c(66L,
18L, 43L, 47L, 26L), censor = c(0L, 0L, 1L, 1L, 0L), sex = c(2L,
1L, 2L, 2L, 1L), age = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 4L), stage = c(3L, 4L,
3L, NA, 3L), treatment = c(1L, 2L, 1L, 2L, NA)), .Names = c("ID",
"start", "stop", "censor", "sex",
"age", "stage", "treatment"
), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", "2",
"3", "4", "5"
)):
Then we can just do this:
?treat <- structure(list(ID = 1:5, start = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L), stop =
c(66L,
18L, 43L, 47L, 26L), censor = c(0L, 0L, 1L, 1L, 0L), sex = c(2L,
1L, 2L, 2L, 1L), age = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 4L), stage = c(3L, 4L,
3L, NA, 3L), treatment = c(1L, 2L, 1L, 2L, NA)), .Names = c("ID",
"start", "stop", "censor", "sex",
"age", "stage", "treatment"
), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", "2",
"3", "4", "5"
))

Hello, The best way to post data is to use dput. The moderator/admin (?) did NOT say that you should "first get the structure, and then assign it back", they gave you an example of the use of dput and then what us, when reading your post would do with that output. They wrote that "Then we can just do this". We can simply assign that output to a variable and create an exact copy of what you have in your R session, that's why dput is so usefull. When you post data, always post the output of dput. If it's a large dataset, such as a data.frame with many rows, you can post a small subset with dput(head(df, 20)) # or 30 or 50 This will only give the structure of the first 20 (or 30 or 50) rows.

Hi, If you have a data, run dput(data), then in the console you will see the output. Copy the output and place it in your email. HTH.
