try this:
place <- c("place1", "place2", "place3", "place4", "place5")
population <- c(100, 200, 300, 50, 30)
my.df <- data.frame(place, population)
my.df[rep(row.names(my.df), my.df$population), ]
I hope it helps.
Best,
Dimitris

Dear all,
I have a data.frame like the sample below, and I would
like to expand my data.frame using "population" variable.
So, for each line of my data.frame I would like that
the new data.frame have many rows as the population collumn.
place<-c("place1", "place2", "place3", "place4", "place5")
population<-c(100,200,300,50,30)
my.df<-data.frame(cbind(place,population))
my.df
best wishes,
