Collapsing a Dataset in R using dplyr with Weighted Mean as the Summarizing Function Using Loops
Understanding the Problem and Context The problem revolves around collapsing a dataset in R using ddply with weighted mean as the function, but encountering an error when building a loop to achieve this collapse. Firstly, let’s understand what “collapsing” means. In statistics, it refers to aggregating data into groups based on certain criteria, such as geographic areas (in this case, GEOLEV2) and time periods (DHSYEAR). The aggregation involves summarizing or combining values within each group.
