[R] Reshaping Data for bi-partite Network Analysis [SOLVED]

[arun]

HI Sylvain,
To get the same order as in "Output"
Input$place<- factor(Input$place,levels=c("school","home","sport","beach"))
Input$people<- factor(Input$people,levels=c("Marc","Joe","Mary"))
xtabs(time~.,Input)

#   place
#people school home sport beach
 # Marc      2    4     0     0
  #Joe       0    3     1     5
  #Mary      4    0     0     0
A.K.

Hi,
