Actually,

Both these solutions create contingency tables, with frequency rather than the original count values. Is there a way to retain the original count values?

Thanks again, Simon.

Thanks Gregor and Henrique for the eloquent and masterful replies,

These solutions have saved me hours (maybe even days) of work in the future,
I am very grateful. :-)

Simon.

Try this:

as.data.frame(xtabs(count ~., d.f))

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.
