Dear all,
I am trying to convert the following data frame into a format more
useful for me:
> library("HSAUR2", lib.loc="C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.2/library")
Loading required package: tools
Attaching package: ‘HSAUR2’
The following object is masked _by_ ‘.GlobalEnv’:
womensrole
> head(womensrole)
education gender agree disagree sexe
1 0 Male 4 2 0
2 1 Male 2 0 0
3 2 Male 4 0 0
4 3 Male 6 3 0
5 4 Male 5 5 0
6 5 Male 13 7 0
In 'womensrole', how do I convert 'agree' and 'disagree' variables
into one proper binary variable, say:
education gender agree sexe
1 0 Male TRUE 0
2 0 Male TRUE 0
3 0 Male TRUE 0
4 0 Male TRUE 0
5 0 Male FALSE 0
6 0 Male FALSE 0
7 1 Male TRUE 0
8 1 Male TRUE 0
9 2 Male TRUE 0
10 2 Male TRUE 0
11 2 Male TRUE 0
12 2 Male TRUE 0
[..]
I'm sure there is an easy way to do this (in the form of 'melt',
'cast', etc.), but I'm not sure how to approach the problem.
Regards,
Liviu
