Re: [R] Reshape with multiple aggregation functions
This sounds like a job for the melt/cast scheme for the reshape package. There is a tutorial for using it here: http://www.r-statistics.com/2012/01/aggregation-and-restructuring-data-from-r-in-action/ Good luck, Tal Contact Details:--- Contact me: tal.gal...@gmail.com | 972-52-7275845 Read me: www.talgalili.com (Hebrew) | www.biostatistics.co.il (Hebrew) | www.r-statistics.com (English) -- On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 11:21 AM, dimitris fekas fek...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: I have a data frame and I would like to reshape it to wide format while at the same time applying different aggregate functions to each column AND at times multiple aggregate functions: test1 = data.frame( id = c(rep('101',8),rep('102',8)), phase = rep(c('D','D','L','L'),4), day = rep(c('1','1','1','1','2','2','2','2'),2), col1 = c(rep(1,8),rep(2,8)), col2 = c(runif(8,min=0,max=1),runif(8,min=0,max=10)) ) In this example, I would like to end up with 2 rows (for the 2 ids) and different columns for phase-day.

Obviously the real data have much more number of columns therefore I guess I will need to provide a list of functions? Thank you in advance!

Re: [R] Reshape with multiple aggregation functions
Hello, and thanks for your answer, I have melted the data already and can reshape it with cast alright, but I still can find no way to provide a list of aggregate functions per column, nor multiple aggregate functions for some of them (i.e. mean AND stdev) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Re-Reshape-with-multiple-aggregation-functions-tp4306131p4306182.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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.

You seem to want four separate columns for each phase-day combination. But then you describe summary statistics for both col1 and col2. Can you provide an example, test2, to make it clear?
