Sorry I don't understand your problem early. In your case you have 2 data.frames: sampleframe and sample.strat so you need show to R where calculate sd or length or summary set.seed(1)# only to make this example don't use in your code stra<-strata(sampleframe,c("type"),size=c(20,80,200,300,400),method="srswor") sample.strat<-getdata(sampleframe,stra) length of value in sampleframe where type is Hypermarket: > length(sampleframet$value[sampleframe$type=="Hypermarket"]) [1] 100 SD of value in sampleframe where type is Hypermarket: > sd(sampleframe$value[sampleframet$type=="Hypermarket"]) [1] 4586.854 length of value in sample.strat where type is Hypermarket: > length(sample.strat$value[sample.strat$type=="Hypermarket"] ) [1] 20 SD of value in sample.strat where type is Hypermarket: > sd(sample.strat$value[sample.strat$type=="Hypermarket"] ) [1] 4679.336 -- Bernardo Rangel Tura, M.D,MPH,Ph.D National Institute of Cardiology Brazil ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
