Replaces a continuous variable x in the data frame, and possibly another continuous variable x_ns derived from it, with new values, for each level of a grouping factor (usually id)

Usage

new_x(data, x_values, group_by = "id", x = "age", x_ns = NULL)

x_values

the values of x to set for each individual

group_by

a data frame containing the following columns
