Counting dummy variable = 1 observations in a dataset for two specific years

Time:02-06

I am trying to count how many enterprise zones were designated in two specific years out of 8 total years. I first isolated the years with the following code:

ez <- ezunem %>% select(3,7,8)

Then tried to count the enterprise zones that were in the select columns:

ez %>% count(ez, sort=TRUE)

This didnt work. What is the best way to count dummy variables = 1 out of two columns in R.

Edit: here is the output with dput(ez) command:

structure(list(ez = structure(c(0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,

    0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
    0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
    0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
    0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0), format.stata = "%9.0g")), row.names = c(NA, 
-198L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))

So, basically I want my output to count the 1's for d84 and d85.

CodePudding user response:

Something like this?

library(dplyr)
ez %>% 
  group_by(ez) %>% 
  summarise(across(c(d84, d85), sum, .names="count_{.col}"))

   ez count_d84 count_d85
  <dbl>     <dbl>     <dbl>
1     0        16        12
2     1         6        10
