A simplistic approach which works for the given example is as
follows: Let your data frame be "X". Do:
x <- 1:8
y <- numeric(8)
y[X$x] <- X$y
Y <- data.frame(x=x,y=y)
Then "Y" is the desired result.

Dear R users,
I have a very basic query, but was unable to find a proper anwser.
I have the following data.frame
x y
2 0.12
3 0.25
4 0.11
6 0.16
7 0.20
and, due to further calculations, I need the data to be stored as
x y
1 0
2 0.12
3 0.25
4 0.11
5 0
6 0.16
7 0.20
8 0
How do I do the transformation?
Many many thjanks in advance.
