I'm new to R and am experiencing a problem properly populating a column of data within a data frame. I'm populating two columns (P_Score and P_Class) based on another column (P_Value) using a series of if / else if statements.
i<- 0
nr<- nrow(myData)
while(i<nr){
i<-1+i
if(toString(myData$P_Value[i])=="NA"){ myData$P_Score[i] <- myData$P_Value[i]
} else if (as.numeric(toString(myData$P_Value[i]))<5){
myData$P_Score[i] <- 1; myData$P_Class[i] <- "Minimal Depression";
} else if (as.numeric(toString(myData$P_Value[i]))<10){
myData$P_Score[i] <- 2; myData$P_Class[i] <- "Mild Depression";
} else if (as.numeric(toString(myData$P_Value[i]))<15){
myData$P_Score[i] <- 3; myData$P_Class[i] <- "Moderate Depression";
} else if (as.numeric(toString(myData$P_Value[i]))<20){
myData$P_Score[i] <- 4; myData$P_Class[i] <- "Moderate-Severe Depression";
} else
myData$P_Score[i] <- 5; myData$P_Class[i] <- "Severe Depression";
}
However, this is not giving me my desired result, and instead I wind up with this:
P_Value P_Score P_Class
4 1 Severe Depression
25 5 Severe Depression
8 2 Severe Depression
13 3 Severe Depression
17 4 Severe Depression
1 1 Severe Depression
12 3 Severe Depression
So the P_Score is populating just fine, but the P_Class is always defaulting to "Severe Depression". I must be having some issue executing multiple statements based off of 1 if condition, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have read elsewhere as long as you put semicolons after the statements both should work, but that's clearly not working.
I have also tried spacing out the commands like this:
} else if (as.numeric(toString(myData$P_Value[i]))<5){
myData$P_Score[i] <- 1
myData$P_Class[i] <- "Minimal Depression"
But that does not seem to work either. Please help!
