Error saying EXPR must be a length 1 vector when trying to use the switch functionality

+1 vote

In R programming I try to do the following:

    df
    A       B     Category
    0.9     0.85  A
    0.7     0.75  B
    0.8     0.90  B

    CSF <- function(df, type) {
    switch(type,
               "A" = qnorm(df$A, 0 , 1),
               "B" = qnorm(df$B, 0 , 1)
    )
    }

    df<-data.frame(df, value = CSF(df,df$category))

Desired result:

    df
    A       B     Category     Value
    0.9     0.85  A            qnorm(0.9, 0, 1)*
    0.7     0.75  B            qnorm(0.75, 0, 1)*
    0.8     0.90  B            qnorm(0.9, 0, 1)*

*: real values

Error message: EXPR must be a length 1 vector

You can use the ifelse function:

df$Value <- ifelse(df$Category=="A",qnorm(df$A,0,1),qnorm(df$B,0,1))
