Subject: Calculating rowMeans from different columns in each row?
Hello!
I have a dataset like this:
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 X8
1 2 2 1 2 3 2 6
2 3 2 5 7 9 1 3
1 9 12 6 1 1 3 6
The columns X1-X6 contains ordinary numeric values.
X7 contains the number of the first column that the rowMeans should be calculated from and
X8 contains the last column that should be included in the rowMeans.
when I try
test <- (df[,df$X7:df$X8])
the rowMeans are calculated based on the values in the X7 and X8 in the first row only.
Thanks in advance!
