Dear useRs,
I have a slightly complicated data structure and am stuck trying to extract
what I need. I'm pasting an example of this data below. In some cases, there
are duplicates in the "gene_id" column because there are two different "sample
1" values for a given "sample 2" value. Where these duplicates exist, I need to
average the corresponding "FL_EARLY" values and retain the "FL_LATE" value and
replace those two rows with a row containing the "FL_EARLY" average so that I
no longer have any "gene_id" duplicates.
Seems like this is a job for some version of the apply function, but searching
and puzzling over this has not gotten me anywhere. Any help will be much
appreciated!
Example data:
