Basic stratification calculations

Hi. I'm a student at SFU in Canada. The basic thing I want to do is calculate means of different strata. I have 2 vectors. One has the values I want to take the means from, the other is the four strata I am interested in. So I essentially want to break up the information vector into the four strata and calculate four means, one for each stratum. How can I do this in a reasonable way? Thanks very much. Dean Vrecko PS: Incidentally I forget how to see the code of functions. Does anyone remember the command to do this?

Would split(y,f) be of some help here? And then you could find the mean for each level of f: y.split <- split(y,f) mean(y.split$"0") mean(y.split$"1") mean(y.split$"2") mean(y.split$"3") Clint
