Modifying Tibes with Conditional Value Replacement Using dplyr in R
Understanding the Problem and Desired Output The problem at hand involves manipulating a tibble data structure in R using the dplyr library. We are given a test tibble with columns colA, regsiege, nbeta_reg52, nbeta_reg53, and nbeta_reg75. The desired output is a new result tibble with the same columns as the original, but with the values in the regsiege column modified according to a specific rule. The rule states that if the value in the regsiege column matches a certain suffix (in this case, “52”, “53”, or “75”) and the corresponding value in one of the nbeta_regXX columns is 0, then the value in the regsiege column should be replaced with the maximum value across all nbeta_regXX columns that has a matching suffix.
