Dear Jim,
wow! It worked! Thanks a lot.
I did as you suggested and it worked well with the real data. Although it
gave me this error: Error in if (!is.na(x$Y[i])) { : argument is of length
zero. For some reason the X1 produced less observations than it is in the
data. But it's not a big deal - I identified those cases and simply deleted
from the data (it was countries that only appeared twice in the data (e.g.
USSR Yugoslavia etc).
Best,
Faradj

Hi Faradj,
What a problem! I think I have worked it out, but only because the
result is the one you said you wanted.
# the sample data frame is named fkdf
Y2Xby3<-function(x) {
nrows<-dim(x)[1]
X<-rep(0,nrows)
for(i in 1:(nrows-2)) {
if(!is.na(x$Y[i])) {
if(x$Y[i] == 1 && any(is.na(x$Y[(i+1):(i+2)]))) X[i]<-1
if(i > 1) {
if(X[i-1] == 1) X[i]<-0
}
}
else {
if(!is.na(x$Y[i+1])) {
if(x$Y[i+1] == 1 && is.na(x$Y[i+2]) && X[i] == 0)
X[i+1]<-1
}
}
}
return(X)
}
countries<-as.character(unique(fkdf$country))
X1<-NULL
for(country in countries)
X1<-c(X1,Y2Xby3(fkdf[fkdf$country == country,]))

Hi everyone,
I am trying to generate a conditional dummy variable ?X" with the following
rules
set X=1 if Y is =1, two years prior to the NA. [0,0,NA].
For example, if the pattern for Y is 0,0,NA then the X variable is =0 for
all the two years prior to the NA. If the pattern for Y is 0,1,NA or 1,0,NA
then the X =1 . To be clear, if 1,1,NA then the X=1 that first specific
year, it should only count once (X=1), not twice.
The code that I have now is not complete and I would appreciate some advice
here. This is the code:
dat2 <- dat1 %>%
group_by(country) %>%
group_by(grp = cumsum(is.na(lag(Y))), add = TRUE) %>%
mutate(first_year_at_1 = match(1, Y) * any(is.na(Y)) * any(tail(Y, 3) ==
1L),
X = {x <- integer(length(Y)) ; x[first_year_at_1] <- 1L ; x}) %>%
ungroup()
It doesn?t really generate what I described above. Any help here would be
much appreciated.
Below you can see my sample data with the desired outcome ?X? dummy in it.
Thank you!
