Hello, I have been trying to use by to create a means table, but receive the error " by(xx, list(subjs, cons, vowels), mean) Error in Summary.data.frame(..., na.rm = na.rm) : only defined on a data frame with all numeric or complex variables" when the data frame consists of three factor columns (subjs, cons and vowels) and 5 numeric data columns. The output I'm looking for is a simple mean for each of the numeric columns by the independent variables subjs, vowel, consonant. Thanks for you advice,
How about nums <- sapply(xx, is.numeric) by(xx[nums], list(subjs, cons, vowels), mean) ?
