Aloha all, I have a data frame with 4 columns. The first three are factors (f1, f2, f3) and the fourth is numeric. I'd like to explore these data using median polish. To do that I plan to use medpolish() on the matrix[f1,f2xf3], then medpolish on the resulting matrix[f2,f3]. This approach is described by Cook on page 141 of Exploring Data Tables, Trends, and Shapes.
split() gets me close to where I want to be, but results in a list, rather than a matrix. How do I construct the matrix[f1,f2xf3] from my data frame? Also, any pointers to existing code that performs multi-way median polish will be appreciated. Sorry for the newbie-type query, but manipulating data prior to analysis is really hard for me in R.
