Dear r genii, I hope you can help.
I have vector 'b': b=c((1:10),sort(1:9,decreasing=TRUE),(2:12),sort(6:11,decreasing=TRUE),(7:13)) and, from 'b' I wish to create vector 'c': c=c( NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,NA,3,3,3,3,3,3,3) The rules I want to use to create 'c' are: A numeric of equal to, or over 7 in 'b' needs to result in a numeric (i.e. not NA) in 'c'; A numeric of less than 7 in 'b' needs to result in "NA" in 'c'; Where 'groups' of numerics equal to, or over 7 in 'b' are present (i.e. next to each other in the list), the numerics produced in 'c' all need to be the same; Each 'group' of numerics in 'b' must result in a unique numeric in 'c' (and, ideally, they should run in sequence as in 'c' above (1,2,3...). If anyone has any idea where to start on this or can crack it I'll be most grateful!!
