Hi Val, Perhaps like this? valdat<-read.table(text="obs, Year, bb, kk, y 1, 2001, 25 ,100, 12.6 2, 2001, 15 ,111, 24.7 3, 2001, 53, 110, 13.8 4, 2001, 50, 75, 9.6 5, 2001, 125, 101, 31.5 6, 2001, 205, 407, 65.7 7, 2001, 250, 75, 69.1",sep=",",header=TRUE)
selectval<-valdat$bb > 75 & valdat$kk > 100 valdat$w<-NA meanselecty<-mean(valdat$y[selectval],na.rm=TRUE) sdselecty<-sd(valdat$y[selectval],na.rm=TRUE) valdat$w<-((valdat$y-48.6)/24.183)*3 +10 valdat Jim On Sat, Oct 1, 2016 at 10:23 AM, Val <valkr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > I want to standardize a variable based on certain condition > Here is my sample of data > > obs, Year, bb, kk, y > 1, 2001, 25 ,100, 12.6 > 2, 2001, 15 ,111, 24.7 > 3, 2001, 53, 110, 13.8 > 4, 2001, 50, 75, 9.6 > 5, 2001, 125, 101, 31.5 > 6, 2001, 205, 407, 65.7 > 7, 2001, 250, 75, 69.1 > > If the value of "bb" is greater than 75 and the value of "kk" is > greater than 100 then I want get the mean and STD values of "y".
