Dear colleagues,
I want to calculate the value of x2 based on the value of x1. x1 is a
factor with three separate levels. I want to make sure that missing
values remain as NA in X2, but non-missing values take on a value of
either 0 or 1 dependending on the value in x1.
This is the code I'm working with...Can any one help?
I've seen some other requests on a topic like this, but not using
factors with strings as levels; only with numeric variables.
Simon
x1<-factor(levels="social and cultural specialists", "labour",
"salariat")
x2<-if(x1==c("social and cultural specialists")) "1" elseif (x1==NA)
"NA" else "0"
