Conditional Mean Statement in R

To calculate the conditional mean in R, you can use the ifelse() function along with the mean() function. Here is an explanation of each step:

  1. Define the condition: First, you need to define the condition on which you want to calculate the conditional mean. This condition can be based on one or more variables in your dataset.

  2. Use ifelse(): Once you have defined the condition, you can use the ifelse() function to apply the condition to your dataset and create a logical vector. The ifelse() function takes three arguments: the condition, the value to be returned if the condition is TRUE, and the value to be returned if the condition is FALSE.

  3. Calculate the mean: Next, you can use the mean() function to calculate the mean of the values that meet the condition. This function takes a vector of numeric values as its argument and returns the mean of those values.

Here is an example that demonstrates how to calculate the conditional mean in R:

# Create a vector of values
values <- c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

# Define the condition
condition <- values > 30

# Calculate the conditional mean
conditional_mean <- mean(ifelse(condition, values, NA))

# Print the result
conditional_mean

In this example, we have a vector values containing numeric values. We define the condition values > 30 to select values greater than 30. We then use the ifelse() function to create a logical vector based on this condition. Finally, we calculate the mean of the selected values using the mean() function.

The result will be the mean of the values that meet the condition, which in this case is 45.
