[R] Changing sign of columns and values

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Hana,
The reason that I didn't answer your last request was that I couldn't
understand it. You attached a spreadsheet that had been pasted
together from other documents. Point 1 promised a formula for
calculating PRS, but didn't show it. Point 2 was similarly lacking a
symbolic formula that could be translated into R code. It was clear to
me that the original documents that had been cut and pasted into the
spreadsheet looked very much like homework assignments. As others have
told you, we avoid doing homework for posters.
