Hi I have the following columns with dates and results, sorted by subject and date. I'd like to compute the differences in dates and results for each patient, based on the previous row. Obviously the last entry for each subject should be a NA.
Which would be the best way to accomplished that ? I guess questions like that have been already answered a thousand times, so I apologize for asking one more time. Thanks Roberto SUBJECT Date Result DateDiff ResultDiff 10751 22-Jul-03 3.5 10751 13-Feb-04 1.3 10751 20-Aug-04 1.6 10751 08-Mar-05 1.7 10751 30-Aug-05 1.6 10751 21-Feb-06 1.3 10751 31-Aug-06 1.2 10751 27-Feb-07 1.5 10751 29-Aug-07 1 10752 29-Jul-03 5.9 10752 24-Feb-04 5 10752 25-Aug-04 3.6 10752 11-Mar-05 5.1 10752 18-Sep-05 2.2 10752 23-Feb-06 3.1 10752 24-Aug-06 3.7 10752 27-Feb-07 6 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
