I have a data frame something like: name wrist nLevel emot 1 4094 3.34 1 frustrated 2 4094 3.94 1 frustrated 3 4094 NA 1 frustrated 4 4094 3.51 1 frustrated 5 4094 3.81 1 frustrated 6 4101 2.62 4 excited 7 4094 2.65 1 frustrated 8 4101 NA 4 excited 9 4101 0.24 4 excited 10 4101 0.23 4 excited
I am trying to change it to this: name nLevel emot w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 w5 4094 1 frustrated 3.34 3.94 NA 3.51 3.81 2.65 4101 4 excited 2.62 NA 0.24 0.23 NA NA The nLevel and emot will never vary with the name, so there can be one row per name. But I need the wrist measurements to be in the same row. The number of wrist measures are variable, so I could fill in with NAs . But I really just need help with reshaping the data frame I think I had some success with the melt x = melt .data .frame(bsub,id.vars=c("name","nLevel","emot"),measure.vars=c("wrist")) But I can't figure out the cast to get the wrist values in the rows.
