Hi all, I have a table in database that is very long and when simplified it has only two columns in it (id, text). id is the row, and text is the column. Technically the text is a term and and id is the document. If simplifying this and assuming there is only one occurrence of the term per the document. I shall be able to convert this into a binary matrix. Table looks like this...
*ID** **Text* ------------ 1 this 1 is 1 the 1 first 1 row 2 this 2 is 2 the 2 send 2 row ... in R I would like to have it as *id this is the first second row* ------------------------------------------------ 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 2 1 1 1 0 1 1 it would be simpler for me to do this transformation in R as I guess the language is more handy as the SQL. The table in R have few dozen thousand of columns and rows as well. I know how to read the data from database, but just unsure if there is some suitable transformation available.
