I am new to R and I have the following SAS statements: if otype='M' and ocond='1' and entry='a.Prop' then MOC=1; else MOC=0; How would I translate that into R code? Thanks in advance
See ?ifelse and ?Logic, both of which are covered in "An Introduction to R" (http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html). MOC <- ifelse((otype == 'M') & (ocond == '1') & (entry == 'a.Prop'), 1, 0) You might also want to think about getting a copy of: R for SAS and SPSS Users Robert Muenchen http://www.amazon.com/SAS-SPSS-Users-Statistics-Computing/dp/0387094172 Regards, Marc Schwartz
I would second Mark's recommendation to carefully work through "An Introduction to R" and to get Robert Muenchen's book. If the variables otype, ocond, and entry are scalar values, then the translation from SAS to R is very straight-forward: if(otype=='M' && ocond=='1' && entry=='a.Prop') MOC <- 1 else MOC <- 0 Hope this is helpful, Dan Daniel Nordlund Bothell, WA USA
