I have a data frame containing the values of weight. I have a create a new column, percentage change of weight wherein the denominator takes the value of every third row.
df <- data.frame(weight = c(30,30,109,30,309,10,20,20,14))
# expected output
change_of_weight = c(30/109, 30/109, 109/109, 30/10,309/10,10/10,20/14,20/14,14/14)
Subset weight column where it's position %% 3 is zero and repeat each value three times.
df <- transform(df, change_of_weight=weight / rep(weight[1:nrow(df) %% 3 == 0], each=3))
df
weight change_of_weight
1 30 0.2752294
2 30 0.2752294
3 109 1.0000000
4 30 3.0000000
5 309 30.9000000
6 10 1.0000000
7 20 1.4285714
8 20 1.4285714
9 14 1.0000000
