I am new to R so any help is greatly appreciated!
I have a data frame of 278800 observations for each of my 10 variables, I am trying to create an 11th variable that sums every 200 observations (or rows) of a specific variable/column (sum(1:200, 201:399, 400:599 etc.) Similar to the offset function in excel. I have tried subsetting my data to just the variable of interest with the aim of adding a new variable that continuously sums every 200 rows however I cannot figure it out. I understand my new "variable" will produce 1,394 data points (278,800/200). I have tried to use the rollapply function, however the output does not sum in blocks of 200, it sums 1:200, 2:201, 3:202 etc.)
Thanks,
E
