I have data in the following list format:
USER,VARIABLE,COUNT
user1, var1, 3
user1, var2, 4
user2, var1, 7
userN, var12, 5
And would like to have it format as a matrix:
var1 var2 var12
user1 3 4
user2 7
userN 5
What is the suggested method to do this for 1 million rows, with 12
variables and ~ 4,000 unique users?
?xtabs
xtabs( COUNT ~ USER + VARIABLE, data=dfrm )
