I'd like to produce a series of simple line graphs for my methods class
that show the three questions used on a repeated survey to make up a
particular index. The data frame is:
> efficacy.df
year complicated havesay dontcare
1 1952 71 68 63
2 1954 NA NA NA
3 1956 64 71 71
4 1958 NA NA NA
5 1960 59 72 73
6 1962 NA NA NA
7 1964 67 70 62
8 1966 69 60 57
9 1968 71 58 55
10 1970 73 64 50
11 1972 74 59 49
12 1974 72 57 46
13 1976 70 56 44
14 1978 NA 53 45
15 1980 71 59 43
16 1982 NA 52 50
17 1984 70 68 57
18 1986 66 NA 43
19 1988 66 50 37
20 1990 65 34 23
21 1992 63 57 37
22 1994 73 34 22
23 1996 60 38 24
24 1998 71 46 25
25 2000 NA 50 33
The ideal graph will show each of the three questions as a different
color line, with lines connecting years spanned by NA values. What's the
easiest way to do this?
Thanks.
