Hi all,
Suppose I had the below example where a survey was carried out recording the
number of each type of pet in each house
count<-c(2,1,2,1,2,3,4)
house<-c("house1","house1","house2","house3","house4","house4","house4")
pet<-c("dogs","cats","dogs","dogs","budgie","cat","hamster")
d.f<-data.frame(house,pet,count)
How would I acheive a dataframe that had every instance of house in column 1,
all possible pets in column 2 and counts in column 3 like this...
newhouse<-rep(unique(house),1,each=4)
newpets<-rep(unique(pet),4)
newcount<-c(2,1,0,0,2,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,3,2,4)
newdf<-data.frame(newhouse,newpets,newcount)
Is there a way of doing this without creating a new matrix and using
programming loops?
Thanks in advance, Simon.
