Hello,
I´m using function aggregate in R 3.0.2. If I run the instruction x<-aggregate(cbind(mpg,hp)~cyl+gear,data=mtcars,quantile) I get the result the following data.frame: cyl gear mpg.0% mpg.25% mpg.50% mpg.75% mpg.100% hp.0% hp.25% hp.50% hp.75% hp.100% 4 3 21.5 21.5 21.5 21.5 21.5 97 97 97 97 97 6 3 18.1 18.925 19.75 20.575 21.4 105 106.25 107.5 108.75 110 8 3 10.4 14.05 15.2 16.625 19.2 150 175 180 218.75 245 4 4 21.4 22.8 25.85 30.9 33.9 52 64.25 66 93.5 109 6 4 17.8 18.85 20.1 21 21 110 110 116.5 123 123 4 5 26 27.1 28.2 29.3 30.4 91 96.5 102 107.5 113 6 5 19.7 19.7 19.7 19.7 19.7 175 175 175 175 175 8 5 15 15.2 15.4 15.6 15.8 264 281.75 299.5 317.25 335 So far so good, however the strange part happens when I run dim(x) or names(x), because the results are 8 4 (dim(x)) and "cyl" "gear" "mpg" "hp" (names(x)). Why this occurs and how do I transform it in a regular data.frame with 12 columns?
