[R] check and verify

[arun]

HI,
Try this:
test<-read.table(text="
 A B C D E F
 a b c d 40 30
 a f a b 20 10
 x m y m 50 30
",sep="",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
#Here, stringsAsFactors=FALSE is the key here.  If you did not add that (or =TRUE) , by default, A-D columns will be factors and you will get the error message as described.

within(test,{new_column_2<-(B==D)*F;new_column_1<-(A==C)*E}) 
# A B C D  E  F new_column_1 new_column_2
#1 a b c d 40 30            0            0
#2 a f a b 20 10           20            0
#3 x m y m 50 30            0           30
A.K.

Hi, may be i was not clear when I made this query before.

I have 6 columns in my dataframe (test)

A B C D E F
a b c d 40 30
a f a b 20 10
x m y m 50 30

I want a new column which gets value in E if character value in column A 
matches with that in column C. One more column comparing B and D. It 
gets the percentage in F column if value in column B matches the value 
in D. If it doesn't match, it gets 0 percentage. 

I tried the ?with, ?within and ?ifelse as suggested but am getting the error saying "Error in Ops.factor(test$A, test$C) : level sets of factors are different" How do i fix this ?

Basically I want my result to look like 


A B C D E F new_column_1 new_column_2

a b c d 40 30 0 0

a f a b 20 10 20 0

x m y m 50 30 0 30

Could you please help me fix the error?
thanks

Hi,
Try this:
 test$A<-(test$A==test$C)*test$E
 test$B<-(test$B==test$D)*test$F
 test
#   A  B C D  E  F
#1  0  0 c d 40 30
#2 20  0 a b 20 10
#3  0 30 y m 50 30
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 within(test,{A<-(A==C)*E; B<-(B==D)*F})
 #  A  B C D  E  F
#1  0  0 c d 40 30
#2 20  0 a b 20 10
#3  0 30 y m 50 30

Hi, 


I have 6 columns in my dataframe (test)

A B C D E F
a b
c d 40 30
a f a b 20 10
x m y m 50 30

If character value in column A matches with that in column C, it gets the percentage in column E, similarly if value in column B matches the value in D, it gets the percentage in F column. If it doesn't match, it gets 0 percentage.


How can I do that ?

thanks
