I know there must be an easy way to do this, but I am too new to R and it
must be late because I can't seem to get myself around this. Assume I have,
scenario year growth value
1 1 .05 1
1 2 .03 0
1 3 .01 0
1 4 0 0
2 1 .01 1
2 2 .01 0
2 3 .01 0
2 4 0 0
What I want to do is within each scenario "grow" the value by the growth rate
so that I get :
scenario year growth value
1 1 .05 1
1 2 .03 1.03
1 3 .01 1.0403
1 4 0 1.0403
2 1 .01 1
2 2 .01 1.01
2 3 .01 1.0201
2 4 0 1.0201
There are 5,000 scenarios and 10 years. The only thing dancing in my head are
giant for loops, which I know isn't right.
Any suggestions?
