Hello,

Or use ?sapply.

sapply(split(dat[1:2], dat[3]), function(x) cor(x[1], x[2]))


Hope this helps,

You can pass a matrix to by()

set.seed(42)
dat <- data.frame(x=runif(50)*20, y=runif(50)*20,
g=rep(LETTERS[1:2], each=25))
as.vector(by(dat[,1:2], dat$g, function(x) cor(x)[1,2]))
[1] -0.05643063  0.16465040

Subject: [R] multivariate version of aggregate

Dear List members,


i am seeking a multivariate version of aggregate. I want to compute,
fro
example the correlation between subsets of two vectors. In
aggregate, i
can only supply one vector with indices for subsets. Is  there ready

function for this or do i need to program my own?


Cheers
Jannis
