Hi R user,I am struggling to figure out on how I can calculate the average from the two tables in R. Any one can help me? really your help would be grateful- I am spending so much time to figure it out. It should not be so hard, I think. I have very big data but I have created a hypothetical data for simplification. for example I have : table 1
table 1: species occurance data speciesX speciesY speciesZ speciesXX Plot1 1 0 1 0 Plot2 0 1 1 0 Plot3 0 0 0 1 Plot4 1 0 1 0 Table 2 table 2. species tolerance data EnviA EnviB EnviC speciesX 0.21 0.4 0.17 speciesY 0.1 0.15 0.18 speciesXX 0.14 0.16 0.19 You may noticed that table 2 does not have species Z which was in table 1. Now I want to get the average value of species tolerance in each plot based on each environmental value (EnviA or EnviB etc)The example of the out come (final table I was looking for it) Results table 1a: average species tolerance in each plot based on EnviA Result Table 3. Average species tolerance in each plot based on EnviA speciesX speciesY speciesZ speciesXX Average Plot1 0.21 NA Nodata 0.14 0.175 Plot2 NA 0.1 Nodata NA 0.1 Plot3 NA NA Nodata 0.14 0.14 Plot4 0.21 NA Nodata NA 0.21 Result table 1b: average species tolerance in plot based on EnviB Table 4. Average species tolerance in each plot based on EnviB speciesX speciesY speciesZ speciesXX Average Plot1 0.4 NA Nodata 0.16 0.28 Plot2 NA 0.15 Nodata NA 0.15 Plot3 NA NA Nodata 0.16 0.16 Plot4 0.4 NA Nodata NA 0.4 Would any one help me how I can calculate these?Thanks Kristi Golver====== [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
