Dear all,
I have a data set as follows:
ID cycle.number cycle.result
1 2525 1 38
2 2525 2 38
3 2525 3 25
4 2525 4 25
5 2525 5 25
6 2525 6 25
7 2531 1 38
8 2531 2 38
9 2078 1 38
10 2078 2 38
I want to find out the maximum cycle.number for each ID, and later find the
corresponding cycle.result for that cycle.
I have already managed to pull out the maximum cycle by using a for loop:
max.cycle <- vector()
patients <- (levels(factor(ID)))
for (i in 1:length(patients)) {
max.cycle[i] <- max(cycle.number[(ID %in% patients[i] )])
}
But i would like to know if there is a better or more elegant way of pulling
out the maximum cycle.number for each ID? Perhaps without the need for using
a for loop?
Many thanks,
Caroline
