Using If/Else on a data frame

by

Use ifelse:

frame$twohouses <- ifelse(frame$data>=2, 2, 1)
frame
   data twohouses
1     0         1
2     1         1
3     2         2
4     3         2
5     4         2
...
16    0         1
17    2         2
18    1         1
19    2         2
20    0         1
21    4         2

The difference between if and ifelse:

  • if is a control flow statement, taking a single logical value as an argument
  • ifelse is a vectorised function, taking vectors as all its arguments.

The help page for if, accessible via ?"if" will also point you to ?ifelse
