I have the dataframe:



 Santa.Period Index Mean Variance
1 TRUE S&P 500 -5.463827e-05 5.552660e-05
2 TRUE Dow 6.907256e-05 4.798628e-05
3 TRUE NASDAQ Composite -3.683476e-04 7.296956e-05
4 TRUE FTSE 100 1.922876e-03 6.342067e-05
5 TRUE CAC 40 1.223700e-03 9.531649e-05
6 TRUE DAX 1.719576e-04 9.986086e-05
7 FALSE S&P 500 2.488153e-04 1.676608e-04
8 FALSE Dow 2.570371e-04 1.415451e-04
9 FALSE NASDAQ Composite 3.989929e-04 1.898479e-04
10 FALSE FTSE 100 4.931637e-05 1.534737e-04
11 FALSE CAC 40 -3.337471e-05 2.280848e-04
12 FALSE DAX 1.916821e-04 2.142012e-04


I would like to reshape it so that there is a column for each combination of Santa.Period and Index and two rows giving each combination's mean and variance.



I have been fiddling about with reshape's dcast for hours, but haven't been able to get anywhere.



How can I solve this?

          No need for dcast I think. You can just use the transpose of df then set df column names pasting Index and Santa.Period. Try out:



          setNames(data.frame(t(df[, -c(1, 2)])),
          paste(df$Index, df$Santa.Period, sep = "_"))
          # output

          No need for dcast I think. You can just use the transpose of df then set df column names pasting Index and Santa.Period. Try out:



          setNames(data.frame(t(df[, -c(1, 2)])),
          paste(df$Index, df$Santa.Period, sep = "_"))
