I have a 43MB dataframe ( 5 variables) and I'm trying to summarize subsets of the data. I've RTFM ( not very clear) and looked at a variety of samples but cant seem to figure out how to make these functions work.
A sample of what I want to do would be this: ids<-seq(1,50) years<-c(rep(5,10),rep(6,10),rep(7,10),rep(8,20)) data<-c(rep(23.2,7),rep(14.2,17),rep(29.2,6),rep(13.4,10),rep(16.3,5), NA, rep(40,4)) data2<-c(rep(22.2,5),rep(13.2,8),NA, rep(29.8,16),rep(12.4,10),rep(16.3,5), rep(38,5)) DF<-data.frame(ids,years,data,data2) That will give you a dataframe that is a good analog of what I have. i would like to calculate means ( with NA removed na.rm) for each level of years. data data2 5 xx. yy. 6 xx yz 7 ... ,,, 8 .. ... And then things like this: 5-7 : xx yy 8 : xy zz [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
