[R] ifelse problem - bug or operator error

[Jennifer Sabatier]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for letting me know how to post data.  I will try to upload it
that way in a second.

I can usually use code to make a reproducible dataset but this time
with the ifelse behaving strangely (perhaps, it's probably me) I
didn't think I could do it easily so I figured I would just put my
data up.

I will check out the R FAQ you mentioned.

Thanks, again,

Jen
