To find the smallest number by group in R, we can use the group_by
and summarize
functions from the dplyr
package:
main.r93 chars6 lines
where data
is the name of the dataset, group_var
is the name of the variable used to group the data, and numeric_var
is the name of the numerical variable for which we want to find the smallest value.
This code will group the data by the group_var
variable and then calculate the minimum value of numeric_var
within each group. The result will be a new dataset with two columns: group_var
and min_value
.
