Creating Custom Row Labels in R Using Base R Functions
Creating Row Labels Based on an Existing Label in R Introduction In this article, we will explore how to create row labels based on an existing label in R. We have a dataset where one of the columns has a label “S” for values less than 35. Our goal is to use each “S” position and label it with a sequence of “S-1”, “S-2”, “S-3” for the three previous rows, then “S+1”, “S+2” for the next two rows.
