Subject: select duplicate identifier with higher mean across sample columns
Hi Group:
I searched R groups before posting this question. I could not find the
appropriate answer and I do not have clear understanding how to do
this in R.
I have a data frame with duplicated row identifiers but with different
values across columns. I want to select the identifier with higher
inter-quartile range or mean.
id <- c("A", "A", "C", "D", "E", "F")
year <- c(2000, 2001, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004)
samp1 <- c(100, 120, 101, 110, 132,123)
samp2 <- c(110, 130, 131, 150, 122,143)
mdf <- data.frame(id,samp1,samp2,samp2a)
> mdf
id samp1 samp2 samp2a
1 A 100 110 110
2 A 120 130 150
3 C 101 131 151
4 D 110 150 130
5 E 132 122 122
6 F 123 143 143
There are two A ids in this df. I want to select the row with higher mean.
How can I do this.
Thanks
Adrian
