Dear all,
I want to expand only one of variable in data frame and the others
variable will be following with the expand variable. Here my toy example:
toy.df <- data.frame(size=c(3,1,2,0,3,5,1,0), group=LETTERS[1:8],
country=c("Germany","England","Argentina","Mexico","Italy","Brazil","France","Spain"),
w=rep(0,8), d=rep(0,8), l=rep(0,8))
toy.df
The size variable is the number of expand and signed by positive but size
with 0 (zero) must be signed by negative.
The result something like:
size group country w d l sign
3 A Germany 0 0 0 positive
3 A Germany 0 0 0 positive
3 A Germany 0 0 0 positive
1 B England 0 0 0 positive
2 C Argentina 0 0 0 positive
2 C Argentina 0 0 0 positive
0 D Mexico 0 0 0 negative
3 E Italy 0 0 0 positive
3 E Italy 0 0 0 positive
3 E Italy 0 0 0 positive
5 F Brazil 0 0 0 positive
5 F Brazil 0 0 0 positive
5 F Brazil 0 0 0 positive
5 F Brazil 0 0 0 positive
5 F Brazil 0 0 0 positive
1 G France 0 0 0 positive
0 H Spain 0 0 0 negative
I would be very happy if anyone could help me.
Thank you very much in advance.
Kindly regards, Muhammad Subianto
