Overcoming dplyr's Sorting Issue with Monotonic Parameter Analysis
The problem with the code is that dplyr::across(ends_with("param")) produces a 3x5 tibble, which cannot be directly used in a case_when comparison. To solve this problem, you can use the rowwise() function to apply the comparisons individually for each row. Here’s an example code: library(dplyr) df1 %>% rowwise() %>% mutate(combined = toString(sort(unique(c_across(ends_with('param')))))) %>% mutate(monotonic = case_when(combined == 'down' ~ 'down', combined == 'unchanged' ~ 'static', combined == 'up' ~ 'up', combined == 'down, unchanged' ~ 'down', combined == 'down, up' ~ 'non', combined == 'unchanged, up' ~ 'up', combined == 'down, unchanged, up' ~ 'non-error')) This code uses rowwise() to apply the comparisons individually for each row.
