Grouping and Summing Data with R: A Step-by-Step Guide
Understanding the Problem and Its Requirements In this blog post, we’ll explore how to perform a specific row operation using R programming language. The task involves summing the values of quarter1 and quarter2 for a particular ownership code (30) while excluding rows with an indcode value of 115. We’ll then create a new row that contains this summed value. We’ll break down the process into manageable steps, explaining each step in detail, and provide examples to help illustrate the concepts.

Calculating Slope of Time Series Over Rolling Window: A Practical Approach to Handling High Values.
Slope of Time Series (xts) Object Over Rolling Window In this article, we will explore how to calculate the slope of a time series object over a rolling window. The problem arises when comparing two time-series objects and finding convergence or divergence between them. The solution involves using the rollapplyr function in R, which applies a function to each element of an array (in this case, our xts object) with the specified window width, along the rows of the array.
