I have two datasets, as follows (in simplified form, believe it or not):



df1 <- structure(list(TERMAC_Value = c(122L, 122L, 122L, 122L, 122L, 
605L), TERMAC_ShortName = structure(c(20L, 20L, 20L, 20L, 20L,
17L), .Label = c("AG", "BWS", "DAWS2", "DEMF", "DM", "EAAW",
"EABT", "EASDS", "EASM", "EEAW2", "KSP", "Marsh", "MAWS", "MEMF",
"MeWG", "MWS", "PV", "TWS", "WM", "ZM"), class = "factor"), GLOBCOV_Value = c(30L,
130L, 60L, 140L, 140L, 60L), Glob_ShortName = structure(c(14L,
11L, 8L, 6L, 6L, 8L), .Label = c("Bare", "CldBdFrst", "CropVeg",
"FloodFrt", "FloodGrs", "Grass", "GrassSgrub", "OpBdFrst", "OpNdFrst",
"RainCrop", "Shrub", "ShrubGrass", "Sparse", "VegCrop", "Water"
), class = "factor")), row.names = c(NA, 6L), class = "data.frame")

df2 <- structure(list(x = structure(c(1L, 2L, 6L, 7L, 3L, 4L, 5L), .Label = c("b1[1] VegCrop",
"b1[2] Shrub", "b1b2[1,1] VegCrop ZM", "b1b2[1,2] VegCrop PV",
"b1b2[2,2] Shrub PV", "b2[1] ZM", "b2[2] PV"), class = "factor"),
Mean = c(4.0188615, 1.0145846, -0.3134498, 1.1346487, -0.2701251,
-0.5978043, -0.06)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-7L))


My problem is that I need to calculate a unique value following this formula:



y = 4.05 + b1[i] + b2[i] + b1b2[i,i]



This would be an additional column on df1. So for example, the value for ZM and VegCrop would be as follows:



y = 4.05 - 0.3 + 4 - 0.27



y = 4.23



So my new dataset would be:



TERMAC_Value TERMAC_ShortName GLOBCOV_Value Glob_ShortName   VALUE
122 ZM 30 VegCrop 4.23
122 ZM 130 Shrub etc
122 ZM 60 OpBdFrst ...
122 ZM 140 Grass ...
122 ZM 140 Grass ...
605 PV 60 OpBdFrst ...


I know this can be easily accomplished with some for looping across the datasets, but as I have done my best to avoid dealing with for loops, I'm now stuck.



Thanks in advance for any help.

    The example you gave for AM and VegCrop is hard to understand. How did you come up with those values for b1, b2, and b1b2?

  • What exactly is i supposed to represent? How did your data get in this way in the first place? The data in df2 seems to be in a very unfriendly format. What do you do with values for OpBdFrst which don't seem to be represented in df2?

  • @mickey those are values from a Bayes model (run using JAGS) estimating abundance of a species according to that particular predictor. I'm trying to create a (very) rough heat map of abundance using those values (obviously some problems theoretically with this, but I want it in place for later tweaking and refinement)

  • @MrFlick I was using "i" there as a representation of, for example, b1 ZM, b1 PV, and etc. As you note, the full dataset has many categories. And my apologies, it's somewhat confusing because of the way I cut the datasets. You're correct that in the full dataset there is OpBdFrst, etc, following on from ZM and PV. For the purposes of this example, I tried to keep it simple and focused on the set up of the formula into which all of those predictors will eventually be plugged in. Hopefully that makes sense.
