Hi,
I'm having trouble creating a mean score for individuals in my dataset. I want the average for each individual in each year and am struggling to do this.
Here is the dput:
df1 <- structure(list(monkey.id = c("00J", "00J", "00J", "00J", "00J",
"00J", "00J", "00J", "00J", "00J", "00J", "00J", "00J", "00J",
"00J", "00J", "00J", "00O", "00O", "00O"), partner.id = c("03J",
"10S", "14L", "28N", "32S", "35N", "43J", "50S", "52P", "55V",
"57H", "60P", "63V", "64P", "90D", "98T", "K00", "14L", "28N",
"29Z"), data.year = c(2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L,
2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L,
2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L, 2010L), current.group = c("F", "F",
"F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F",
"F", "F", "F", "F", "F"), DCSI = c(1.27636402820631, 1.40971549383981,
0.755607504698138, 0.646924233474433, 0.638182014103157, 0.638182014103157,
1.33972961825911, 1.9407727004233, 1.29384846694887, 0.646924233474433,
0.704857746919905, 1.27636402820631, 15.0677748544049, 0.651385779912188,
0.699636578424202, 1.33029490263757, 0.651385779912188, 0.814232224890235,
1.37884581149295, 0.679503151706959)), row.names = c(2L, 4L,
6L, 11L, 14L, 16L, 21L, 24L, 25L, 26L, 29L, 31L, 35L, 37L, 48L,
50L, 51L, 62L, 67L, 69L), class = "data.frame")
Each individual had its own unique ID in the "monkey.id" variable. They have social partners (partner.id) which are characterised by relationship strengh (DCSI). And I have data for different years.
What I want is to create an average DCSI score that an individual has with all its social partners, in a given year. With the idea that a higher average DCSI score, means a monkey is more sociable.
Can anybody help please?
