Chris Barker and everyone
Thanks for your fast replay.
Regarding the descreptive Stats, I can compute it for the full dataset, but I
can´t comput it for groups of that.
I used mean ( Rainfall [year==1980] ) without problem. But how can I get the
mean Rainfall for Year==1980 AND Site=1; Year=1980 AND Site=2 etc.
Regarding my question for Pieacewise Regression model It can really be done
with liner models functions. In fact, the results are a set of models that work
bether in different range of an X variable (for X varying 0 to 0.15 use
model_1; for 0.16 to 0.46 use model_2... for X>0,47 use model_3 etc.
Sorry for my broken english,
Regards a lot,
Miltinho

You can get descriptive statistics with mean(), var() or summary().
AS to broken stick, I can only speculate that's a variation on a regression.
You may need to be more specific in your questions to the list, as I suspect
its something easily done in the linear models functions.

<< File: ATT17883177.txt >> Hi there,
I´m a newbie in R and I´m looking for some advice how to teste Piecewise
(Broken Stick) models.
I´have another simple question: how can I compute descriptive statistics for
data grouped for two or more variables? See below, please.
Year Site Repetition rainfall
1980 1 1 ...
1980 1 2 ...
1980 1 3 ...
1980 2 1 ...
1980 2 2 ...
1980 2 3 ...
1990 1 1 ...
1990 1 2 ...
1990 1 3 ...
1990 2 1 ...
1990 2 2 ...
1990 2 3 ...
I´d like to compute the mean rainfall for each YEAR * SITE combination.
Kind regards,
Miltinho
