Group data and count the frequencies and create new column based on them in R










1















I have data which I want to group based on ID and count the frequencies of occurrences of a column and create new columns based on it. Basically, using table command for each ID.



ID status GPA
1 fail 3.1
1 pass 3.1
1 fail 3.1
1 fail 3.1
2 pass 4
2 pass 4
2 fail 4
3 pass 4.1


result:



ID fail pass GPA
1 3 1 3.1
2 1 2 4
3 0 1 4.1


How can I do it in R?

    aggregate(x$status, list(x$ID), table) answers the part of your question concerning fail/pass counts. However, it's not entirely clear how aggregate GPA is computed (average? average of successful entries only?)

  • thank you. GPA was previously computed and no need for any calculation. just want to keep as extra information for each ID

    To add GPA to 12b...'s solution: aggregate(DF[2], DF[-2], table) assuming that status is a factor column.
