有条件地替换因子值

Question

我需要用另一个变量替换一个变量的值，如下所示。我被绊倒在R如何处理因素。

# setup example 
df1 <- data.frame(v1=c(1, 0, 1, 1), 
        v2=c(1, 1, 1, 1)) 
df1$v1 <- factor(df1$v1, 
       levels=c(0, 1), 
       labels=c("0", "1")) 

df2 <- data.frame(v3=c(1, NA, NA, 0), 
        v4=c(1, 1, 1, 1)) 
df2$v3 <- factor(df2$v3, 
       levels=c(0, 1), 
       labels=c("0", "1")) 

# df2$v3 
#[1] 1 <NA> <NA> 1 
#Levels: 0 1 

# recode NA in df2$v3 to 0 if df1$v1==0 
# df2$v3 should end up as 1, 0, NA, 1 and remain a factor 

df2$v3 <- ifelse(df1$v1=="0" & is.na(df2$v3), "0", df2$v3) 

# df2$v3 
#[1] "2" "0" NA "2"

# setup example 
df1 <- data.frame(v1=c(1, 0, 1, 0), 
        v2=c(1, 1, 1, 1)) 
df1$v1 <- factor(df1$v1, 
       levels=c(0, 1), 
       labels=c("0", "1")) 

df2 <- data.frame(v3=c(1, NA, NA, 0), 
        v4=c(1, 1, 1, 1)) 
df2$v3 <- factor(df2$v3, 
       levels=c(0, 1), 
       labels=c("0", "1")) 
df2$v3[which(df1$v1==0)] <- 0 

sapply(df2,class) 
#  v3  v4 
# "factor" "numeric"
