[R] Manipulating matrices

2005-12-13 Thread Sérgio Nunes
Hi,

I'm pretty new to R and I've been having some problems filtering data
in matrices.

I have the following initial dataset:

|| year | name | varA ||

I have multiple values for varA for the same year and the same name.
Having this as the input I would like to obtain the following:

|| year | name | {varA mean} ||

Where I only have one line for each year and name with the mean of
the values of varA in varA mean.

Is there a simple way to achieve this without using control structures
(for or while cycles)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,
Sérgio Nunes
