Hi Bibek,
You can do this in different ways: set.seed(15) dat1<-as.data.frame(matrix(sample(c("Yes","No"),20,replace=TRUE),ncol=5),stringsAsFactors=FALSE) dat1[dat1=="Yes"]<-1 dat1[dat1=="No"]<-0 dat1[]<- sapply(dat1,as.numeric) dat1 # V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 #1 0 1 0 0 1 #2 1 0 0 0 0 #3 0 0 1 0 1 #4 0 1 0 0 0 #or set.seed(15) dat2<-as.data.frame(matrix(sample(c("Yes","No"),20,replace=TRUE),ncol=5),stringsAsFactors=TRUE) dat2[]<-sapply(dat2,as.numeric)-1 dat2 # V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 #1 0 1 0 0 1 #2 1 0 0 0 0 #3 0 0 1 0 1 #4 0 1 0 0 0 identical(dat1,dat2) #[1] TRUE A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: bibek sharma <mbhpat...@gmail.com> To: arun <smartpink...@yahoo.com> Cc: Sent: Monday, February 4, 2013 12:54 PM Subject: Re: [R] longitudinal study Dear Arun, I have a data set with dim 1200 by 56 where the variable has binomial response ( yes or no). I want to replace all the "yes" by 1 and "no"by 0 in the entire data set. is there any sort cut way of recoding? Thank in advance for your help.
