that calculates using preceding records Hi: Here's another way. If I understand this correctly, you can get the diameters by setting the NA values in d to zero, taking the cumulative sum of d (within treecode) and then subtracting the result from diam[1]. Since I'm used to doing th

[R] function that calculates using preceding records

2015-02-10 Thread Seth Bigelow
Greetings: My dataframe has 4 variables: treecode, year, rw (tree ring width), and d (tree diameter). The d variable only has data for 2014. I wish to calculate earlier diameters by subtracting each year's growth (rw) from the previous year's diameter, by treecode. Can anyone help me with a
