Dear R-experts, I have the following "long" data frame:
ID <- c("ID001","ID001","ID001","ID001","ID001","ID001","ID001","ID001","ID001","ID001","ID001","ID002","ID002","ID002","ID002","ID002","ID002","ID002") Var <- c("Var001","Var001","Var001","Var001","Var001","Var002","Var002","Var002","Var002","Var002","Var002","Var001","Var001","Var001","Var001","Var002","Var002","Var002") Dose <- c("100","100","80","80","50","100","100","100","80","50","25","100","100","80","50","100","80","50") Response <- c("90%","15%","90%","90%","90%","100%","100%","90%","100%","100%","70%","90%","15%","90%","90%","100%","100%","100%") DF <- data.frame(ID,Var,Dose,Response) DF ID Var Dose Response 1 ID001 Var001 100 90% 2 ID001 Var001 100 15% 3 ID001 Var001 80 90% 4 ID001 Var001 80 90% 5 ID001 Var001 50 90% 6 ID001 Var002 100 100% 7 ID001 Var002 100 100% 8 ID001 Var002 100 90% 9 ID001 Var002 80 100% 10 ID001 Var002 50 100% 11 ID001 Var002 25 70% 12 ID002 Var001 100 90% 13 ID002 Var001 100 15% 14 ID002 Var001 80 90% 15 ID002 Var001 50 90% 16 ID002 Var002 100 100% 17 ID002 Var002 80 100% 18 ID002 Var002 50 100% >From this I wish to generate a "wide" data frame (note: repetitions at identical "Dose" are given indepently for each "ID"): ID Dose Var001.Response Var002.Response ID001 100 90% 100% ID001 100 15% 100% ID001 100 NA 90% ID001 80 90% 100% ID001 80 90% NA ID001 50 90% 100% ID001 25 NA 70% ID002 100 90% 100% ID002 100 15% NA ID002 80 90% 100% ID002 50 90% 100% I tried reshape(DF, timevar="Var", idvar=c("ID", "Dose"), direction="wide") and obtained: ID Dose Response.Var001 Response.Var002 1 ID001 100 90% 100% 3 ID001 80 90% 100% 5 ID001 50 90% 100% 11 ID001 25 <NA> 70% 12 ID002 100 90% 100% 14 ID002 80 90% 100% 15 ID002 50 90% 100% This table is close to what I need, but it lacks entries if more than one "Response" exists for a given "Dose". Where is my mistake?
