Hi R-users,
I would like to calculate weighted mean of several
variables by two factors where the weight vector is
the same for all variables.
Below, there is a simple example where I have only two
variables: "v1","v2" both weighted by "wt" and my factors
are "gender" and "year".
set.seed(1)
df <- data.frame(gender = rep(c("M", "F"),each = 5),
year = rep(c(1999, 2000), 5), v1 = rnorm(10,10),
v2 = rnorm(10,6), wt = runif(10))
df
g <- function(x) weighted.mean(x[, 1], x[, 2])
by(df[,c("v1","wt")],df[,c("year","gender")],g)
I can use as above by command for each variable (v1,v2)
separately but I wonder if there is some simpler way
that yields a table/data frame of weigted means for all
"vi"s where i=1...N.
Thank you very much,
ozan
