[R] Tables in Packages

2010-08-17 Thread Daniel Murphy

2010-01-08 Thread Daniel Murphy
When the 'by' function forms subsets, are the rows in the same order as they are in the original data frame? For example, I want to use 'by' to calculate cumulative sums of a value 'v' by date 'd' for different levels of a factor 'f':
