individualID = data.frame(c(1, 2, 3, 4))
status = data.frame(c(10, 20, 30, 20))
alters = data.frame(c(4, 3, 2, 1), c(3, 4, 1, 2), c(2, 1, 4, 3))
totalAltersByStatus = getTotalAltersByStatus(individualID, status, alters)

individualID = data.frame(c(1, 2, 3, 4))
status = data.frame(c("RegularSmoke", "Nonsmoker", "CasualSmoker", "Nonsmoker"))
