Hi, I have a data frame containing two columns:
x<-as.factor(c('a','a','a','a','a','b','b','b','c','d','d','d')) y<-c(1,3,6,8,12,3,4,7,5,6,7,10) X<-data.frame(x,y) X x y 1 a 1 2 a 3 3 a 6 4 a 8 5 a 12 6 b 3 7 b 4 8 b 7 9 c 5 10 d 6 11 d 7 12 d 10 I would like to add a column that counts the number of occurences of x for all y < focal y. So, Xnew x y z 1 a 1 0 2 a 12 4 3 a 6 2 4 a 8 3 5 a 3 1 6 b 3 1 7 b 4 2 8 b 7 3 9 c 5 1 10 d 6 1 11 d 7 2 12 d 10 3 I guess this should be easy, but I have no clue on how to do it. Thanks very much! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Count-factor-if-tp3306856p3306856.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
