Subject: [R] Calculate Mean for each Treatment/Trial Interaction in DF


Hi,

I am create a new DF that summarizes the mean angle per 
treatment/trial, of the original DF (see below).  I have had 
some success using:
(tapply(df$Angle, INDEX=interaction(df$State, df$Trial),  
FUN=mean)); however, this gives the answer as a list, which 
means I would have to split the name to get the categories back.  Does
anyone know a simple way to transform the Original DF into 
Summary DF?    

Thanks in advance,

James
