Hi Folks, I'm trying to cut my data inside the summaryBy function. Perhaps formulas don't work that way? I'd like to avoid adding another column if possible, but if I have to, I have to. Any ideas? Thanks, Allie require(doBy) df = dataframe(a <- rnorm(100), b <-rnorm(100)) summaryBy(a ~ cut(b,c(-100,-1,1,100)), data=df) # preferred solution, but it throws an error # Error in `[.data.frame`(data, , rh.var, drop = FALSE) : undefined columns selected df$c = cut(b,c(-100,-1,1,100)) summaryBy(a ~ c, data=df) # works fine ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
