Hi, I'm new to R so please fogive if I write someting silly ... I need to recode a series of responses from a number of questionnaires. The data is read via ODBC from a database where all responses are coded as tables of the form (id, question, score). After dealing with recoding of missing values, I need to "invert" the scores of some questionnaire's item in the form x <-

Hello, I have struggled, for longer than I care to admit, with this seemingly simple problem, but I cannot find a solution other than the use of long drawn out ifelse statements. I know there has to be a better way. Here is stripped down version of the situation: I start with: a <- c(1,0,1,0,0,0,0) b <- c(1,1,1,1,0,0,0) c <- c(1,1,0,1,0,0,0) rbind(a,b,c) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]

I know this comes up, but I didn't see my exact issue in the archives. I have variables in a dataframe that need to be recoded. Here is what I'm dealing with I have a factor called aa > class(aa) [1] "factor" > table(aa) aa * 0 1 2 3 A B C D L N T 0 0 1908 725 2089 0 0 67 0 0 2 1 6 I need to recode

I am trying to recode a variable into another variable and while the package 'car' works well when it is only recoding A into B, I am not sure I can do the same with recoding (A or C) into B. If i can use recode please advise on how to. So i am using an if/else if conditions. My sample dataset is below along with the code and the warning and results i get. TIA Krishnan #****Code****

I have a text file full of numbers (it's a edgelist for a graph) and I would like to recode the numbers as they are way too big to work with. So for instance the following: 676529098667 1000198767829 676529098667 100867672856227 676529098667 91098726278 676529098667 98928373 1092837363526 716172829 would become: 0 1 0 2 0 3 0 4 5 6 i.e. all 676529098667 would become

I want to do some recoding of variables: code Age into groups and recode a factor into a smaller number of levels. There are a couple of options for recode functions, in the car package and in memisc, and I think in gmisc. Does anyone have any opinions on the the easiest, most reliable approach for these problems? David Scott _________________________________________________________________

Dear R helpers, I have a data frame where missing values for numeric variables are coded as 999. I want to recode those as NAs. The following only partially succeeds because numeric variables are converted to character in the process: df <- data.frame(a=c(999,1,999,2), b=LETTERS[1:4]) is.na(df[2,1]) <- TRUE df a b 1 999 A 2 NA B 3 999 C 4 2 D is.numeric(df$a) [1] TRUE

I currently have a data set in which gender is inputed as "Male" and "Female" , and I'm trying to convert this into "1" and "0". I found a website which reccomended using two commands: data$scode[data$sex=="M"] <- "1" data$scode[data$sex=="F"] <- "2" to convert to numbers, and: data$scode <-

Dear R list, I have an event history data set that is structured like this: Legislative act Discussion Agreement Time Event Act1 2006-05-30 2006-06-19 20 1 Act2 2004-03-01 2004-06-14 105 1 . . .

Dear R community, I have a question concerning recoding of a variable. I have a data set in which there is a variable devoted to the ISCO code describing the occupation of this certain individual (http://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/isco88/major.htm). Every type of occupation begins with a number and every number added to this number describes th occupation more detailed. Now my

Dear R-helpers, I am helping a SAS user run some analyses in R that she cannot do in SAS and she is complaining about R's peculiar (to her!) way of recoding variables. In particular, she is wondering if there is an R package that allows this kind of SAS recoding: IF TYPE='TRUCK' and count=12 THEN VEHICLES=TRUCK+((CAR+BIKE)/2.2); Thanks for any help or suggestions you might be able

Hi, I have numerical variable that I want to recode into categories '0' and '1 and more' and do analysis with that data. I have tried various of possibilities to do so, but I am sucked and nothing is working. recode(Q12, "0='A';1:30='B'") cut(Q12, breaks=c(0,1,30), lables=c('0', '1 and more')) cat(Q12, "0=0;1-33=1") What should

Dear All, I am trying to recode a variable using the functions provided by "memisc" package.

Dear Rusers, My question is about "recode variables". First, i'd like to say something about the idea of recoding: My dataset have three variables:type,soiltem and airtem,which means grass type, soil temperature and air temperature. As we all known, the change of air temperature is greater than soil temperature,so the values in those two different temperaturemay represent different

Hi, Is there an efficient way recoding variables in a data.frame using base R? My purpose is to create new variables and attach them into old data.frame. The basic idea is shown below, but how to create recoding for A, B and C and assing them into new variables? df <- data.frame(A = c(1:5), B = c(3,6,2,8,10), C = c(0,15,5,9,12)) df$A[df$A <= 3] <- "x" df$A[df$A > 3 &
