不同时间段（年、月、周）的收入——我想把数据标准化

Question

I have a dataset that looks a bit like this:

Income	Income period
1500	3
400	2
30000	1

Where 1 is yearly, 2 is weekly, and 3 is monthly.

I want to create a column that will show the income yearly for all rows so that I can compare them more easily.

Apologies if this is a very simple question, I guess I could recode 3 to be 12 and then have a formula that multiplies these columns together and then recode 2 to be 52 and do the same, just wanted to see if anyone has a better way of doing things as there are actually multiple columns like this with different codes for time periods that I need to fix.

Answer 1

  library(dplyr)

  df %>% 
    mutate(income_yr = case_when(period == 3 ~ income * 12,
                                 period == 2 ~ income * 52,
                                 TRUE ~ income))
#>   income period income_yr
#> 1   1500      3     18000
#> 2    400      2     20800
#> 3  30000      1     30000

data

  df <- data.frame(income = c(1500, 400, 30000),
                   period = c(3, 2, 1))
