dplyr::mutate to add multiple values

Question

There are a couple of issues about this on the dplyr Github repo already, and at least one related SO question, but none of them quite covers my question -- I think.

Answer 1

This uses a "standard" dplyr workflow, but as @BenBolker notes in the comments, it requires calling get_binCI twice:

dd %>% group_by(x,n) %>%
  mutate(lwr=get_binCI(x,n)[1],
         upr=get_binCI(x,n)[2])

  x  n        lwr       upr
1 3 10 0.06673951 0.6524529
2 4 11 0.10926344 0.6920953
