xtabs() allows a count on the LHS of its formula argument, if you're looking at contingency tables. In other cases, an expedient, if inefficient, trick is simply to expand your data using rep(), i.e. something like mydata.x <- mydata[rep(1:nrow(mydata),mydata$count),] (Re. SPSS & SAS: what is not quite as simple is to see whether weights are frequency weights or variance weights.) -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
