Creating variables from factor records in R
问题 I am kind of lost, I have a data frame that looks like this: tract ageClass count 1 [0-4] 71 2 [0-4] 192 3 [0-4] 81 1 [5-8] 9 2 [5-8] 86 3 [5-8] 42 I would like to have this result: tract [0-4] [5-8] 1 71 9 2 192 86 3 81 42 I have been looking in the internet for a solution for quite some time but so far nothing... any idea? Many thanks! 回答1: Three possible options I can think of (assuming your data set called df ) xtabs(count ~ tract + ageClass, df) # ageClass # tract [0-4] [5-8] # 1 71 9 #
