[R] Ifelse statements and combining columns

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Your ifelse statement is a mess. I cannot make sense of it. Let me try 
to explain where I've lost it.

dat$cond <- ifelse(test = dat$cond == "cond1"
This is already very bad, do you mean dat$cond == "cond1" ?
Maybe you mean that condition OR the others below, but then there's one 
'|' missing, just before the last condition.

| dat$cond == "cond2"  |
    dat$cond == "cond3" dat$cond == "cond4"

After this your code should have a comma. It's missing.
Maybe you can tell us in plain english the conditions your ifelse should 
process.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
