Is this what you want: ## nb: dat is your object ## this is the number of 8-day chunks we need to create n.8day.chunks <- ceiling(nrow(dat)/8) ## this is a factor indicating which days need to aggregated day8 <- as.factor(rep(1:n.8day.chunks, each = 8, length.out = nrow(dat))) ## the mean of consecutive 8-day chunks of your data aggregate(dat, day8, mean) G > > structure(c(6.91777181625366,
