I'm sure this is probably simple, but I can't find an answer...
I have a data frame (Galton's data on heights of parents and children),
in grouped form,
parent child frequency
73.5 72.2 1
73.5 73.2 3
72.5 68.2 1
72.5 69.2 2
72.5 70.2 1
72.5 71.2 2
72.5 72.2 7
72.5 73.2 2
72.5 74.2 4
71.5 65.2 1
71.5 66.2 3
71.5 67.2 4
71.5 68.2 3
71.5 69.2 5
71.5 70.2 10
...
and need the ungrouped equivalent, where each input observation
appears the number of times represented by its frequency. In SAS
this would be
data galton2;
set galton;
do i=1 to frequency;
output;
end;
I can replicate this in R, but surely there must be an easier way.
(In APL2 it would be frequency\[1]galton)
thanks,
