Basically I have 40 categories and each category has several hundred variables. 
I want to calculate the average per category, that is variable * 
frequency/Summation of frequencies. I want to do it for each category 
separately. Since i have many categories i do not want to use the subset() 
function 40 times. Is it possible to do it within a single data frame?

Really appreciate any help. Thank you.
