Dear Jorge,

thank you very much for your help. So with() was missing. 

Tripstatistics=with(TripsData,aggregate(TripsData[,3:4],by=list(Trip=Tripmatch),FUN="mean"))

works.

Best wishes,

Juliane

Hi Julien, 

Works for me:

# Data sets
TripsData1 <- read.table(textConnection("Trip Distance TimeDiff Tripmatch
7329 35,36 172.7453   0.0041     35,36
7371 36,35 172.7453   0.0004     35,36
7372 35,36 172.7453   0.0000     35,36
7373 36,35 172.7453   0.0004     35,36
7374 35,36 172.7453   0.0001     35,36"), header = TRUE)

TripsData2 <- read.table(textConnection("Trip Distance TimeDiff Tripmatch 
1617 19,20 1087.365   0.0441     19,20
1899 20,19 1087.365   0.0207     19,20
1915 19,20 1087.365   0.0361     19,20
3285 20,19 1087.365   0.0356     19,20
3826 19,20 1087.365   0.0697     19,20"), header = TRUE)
closeAllConnections()

# Individually
with(TripsData1, aggregate(TripsData1[, 2:3], by = list(Tripmatch), FUN="mean") 
)
# Group.1 Distance TimeDiff
# 1   35,36 172.7453    0.001

with(TripsData2, aggregate(TripsData2[, 2:3], by = list(Tripmatch), FUN="mean") 
)
#  Group.1 Distance TimeDiff
# 1   19,20 1087.365  0.04124

# Combining both data sets
AllTrips <- rbind(TripsData1, TripsData2)
with(AllTrips, aggregate(AllTrips[, 2:3], by = list(Tripmatch), FUN="mean") )
# Group.1  Distance TimeDiff
# 1   35,36  172.7453  0.00100
# 2   19,20 1087.3650  0.04124

HTH,
Jorge
