Hi,
The output you showed is not clear especially the for the scores3, 
  2                         2           2011-09-22    3     65            2.6       0.8            0.8
2                        3             2011-10-26   4      34            2.7     0.8            0.8
3                        1             2011-07-17    0     NA           2.8      0.5             0.6
In the input data, the scores3 column didn't had 0.8.


This is what I got:
dat1<- read.table(text="

Hello, AK, 
now i have a problem really complicated for me,

Now my table is like this:

patient_id      number      responsed_at      delais      scores1   scores2   scores3
 1                      1            2010-05-26         NA           2.6       0.5            0.7    
 1                      2             2010-07-07         42            2.5       NA           NA         
 1                       3            2010-08-14         38            2.3       NA           NA    
 1                       4            2010-10-01          48            2.5       0.7           0.6
 1                       5            2010-12-01          61            2.5       NA           NA
2                        1            2011-07-19          NA           2.5       0.8            0.5
2                         2           2011-09-22          65            2.6       NA            NA
2                        3             2011-10-26          34            2.7      NA            NA
3                        1             2011-07-17         NA           2.8      0.5             0.6
3                        2            2011-10-30          103           2.6      NA             NA
3                         3              2011-12-23        54            2.5      NA             NA

explications: delais = the date of "responsed_at"  - the date of precedent "responsed_at"
scores1 is measured every month
scores2 and 3 are measured every three months

first thing is :   if the 20<delais <45, this count one month of delais
if the 45<=delais <60, this count two month of delais,so add one line with the copy of the precedent line,and change the delais to 0

if the 60 <= delais <=90, this count three month of delais, so add two lines with the copy of the precedent line,and change these two delais to 0

if the delais >90, delete all the following lines

and add a column "t", "t" means the month, "t" is in order

second thing is : 
I want to replace NA of scores2 and scores3  with the precedent scores

and finally get a table like this:

patient_id      number      responsed_at  t    delais      scores1   scores2   scores3
 1                      1            2010-05-26    0     NA           2.6       0.5            0.7    # scores2 and 3 are mesured every 3 
 1                      2             2010-07-07    1     42            2.5       0.5           0.7     ## months,replace the following with       precedent  numbers
 1                       3            2010-08-14     2    38            2.3       0.5           0.7    # copy this line
1                        3             2010-08-14    3    0             2.3        0.5           0.7   # add one line here and change delais to 0
 1                       4            2010-10-01    4     48            2.5       0.7           0.6
1                        4            2010-10-01    5     0              2.5       0.7           0.6
1                        4            2010-10-01    6     0               2.5       0.7           0.6
 1                       5            2010-12-01    7      61            2.5       0.7           0.6
2                        1            2011-07-19    0      NA           2.5       0.8            0.5
2                        1            2011-07-19    1      0           2.5       0.8            0.5
2                        1            2011-07-19    2      0           2.5       0.8            0.5
2                         2           2011-09-22    3     65            2.6       0.8            0.8
2                        3             2011-10-26   4      34            2.7     0.8            0.8
3                        1             2011-07-17    0     NA           2.8      0.5             0.6
(3                        2            2011-10-30          103           2.6      0.5            0.6)# delete these 2 line                               
(3                         3              2011-12-23        54            2.5      0.5             0.6) ## and delete the following lines of this patient because the delais is 103 which superior to 90



Do you know how can i get this?
Thank you so much

Hello, 
>Because according to the database, the first time of collecting the data is just for an entry, an inclusion of the patients. What i should focus on is the difference between two month. If i don't include the t0, i think i will lose the information. I don't know if this is pertinent.

>HI GG,
>>I did the code according the calculation shown by you.  For example, in the first case, you had scores of  (0+1+2+3)/4, which is not 3 months.  It is 3+ initial month.  After that it is only 3 months that is repeating.  So, my code is doing this:
>>   1st group (the scores)
>>(0+1+2+3)/4
>>2nd group( scores)
>>(5+6+7)/3
>>3rd group
>>(8+9+10)/3
>>
>>Here, the months are used only for illustration.  I am taking the mean of the scores.
>>
>>So, if you are only doing every 3 months, why do you need to combine the initial scores with the first 3 months?  Anyway, I did what you asked for.

>>Arun
