You can change ex <- data.frame("gIN" = gIN, "bc1" = bc1, "bc2"=bc2, "group" = group)
to ex <- data.frame("gIN" = c(gIN,gIN), "bcX" = c(bc1,bc2), "group" = c(group,group)) On Wed, Jun 3, 2015 at 2:27 PM, hedelhusk [via R] < ml-node+s789695n4708145...@n4.nabble.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I would like to ask for some advice in reformatting a data frame such as > the following one: > > > gIN <- c("A_1","A_2","A_3","A_4","B_1","B_2") > bc1 <- c(1219.79, 1486.84, 1255.80, 941.87, 588.19, 304.02) > bc2 <- c(319.79, 186.84, 125.80, 94.87, 1008.19, 314.02) > group <- c("A","A","A","A","B","B") > > ex <- data.frame("gIN" = gIN, "bc1" = bc1, "bc2"=bc2, "group" = group) > > > ex > gIN bc1 bc2 group > 1 A_1 1219.79 319.79 A > 2 A_2 1486.84 186.84 A > 3 A_3 1255.80 125.80 A > 4 A_4 941.87 94.87 A > 5 B_1 588.19 1008.19 B > 6 B_2 304.02 314.02 B > > I would like to reshape this data frame where all the columns that have > bc1, bc2,...etc are merged into a single column (call it bcX or something) > and the other variables are kept apart, the example solution follows: > > > > ex_reshaped > gIN bcX group > 1 A_1 1219.79 A > 2 A_2 1486.84 A > 3 A_3 1255.80 A > 4 A_4 941.87 A > 5 B_1 588.19 B > 6 B_2 304.02 B > 7 A_1 319.79 A > 8 A_2 186.84 A > 9 A_3 125.80 A > 10 A_4 94.87 A > 11 B_1 1008.19 B > 12 B_2 314.02 B > > Does anyone know of a package, and/or command to accomplish this? > > Thank you > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > [hidden email] <http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=4708145&i=0> > mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > > > ------------------------------ > If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion > below: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/reshape-a-data-frame-tp4708145.html > To start a new topic under R help, email > ml-node+s789695n789696...@n4.nabble.com > To unsubscribe from R, click here > <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscribe_by_code&node=789695&code=amF2YXNjcmlwdGFydDI1QGdtYWlsLmNvbXw3ODk2OTV8NTgxOTIwNTYy> > . > NAML > <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=macro_viewer&id=instant_html%21nabble%3Aemail.naml&base=nabble.naml.namespaces.BasicNamespace-nabble.view.web.template.NabbleNamespace-nabble.view.web.template.NodeNamespace&breadcrumbs=notify_subscribers%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-instant_emails%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-send_instant_email%21nabble%3Aemail.naml> > -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/reshape-a-data-frame-tp4708145p4708146.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
