Hello,
I am very new to R, but I am having trouble with my dataset.
I have a data frame where a subject has a variable number of multiple
observations for each row, which I wish the transform these
observations to column variables.
An example of the data frame
ID TEST.A TEST.B
1 10 1
1 13 2
1 11 1
2 15 2
2 17 3
And I wish to transform it to the following:
ID TEST.A1 TEST.A2 TEST.A3 TEST.B1 TEST.B2 TEST.B3
1 10 13 11 1 2 1
2 15 17 NA 2 3 NA
In other words, for the variable number of repeated follow up
studies, a new column variable for each subject, but they are grouped
by the original test.
Thank you for any help - I'm realizing that I am a terrible programmer!
