Mean calculation of groups
Nico: 1. Thanks for the example. 2. Please read -- or at least peruse -- the tutorial, An Introduction to R (or other tutorial that you might find on the Web, there are many) to familiarize yourself with R's features. 3. This is an example of what the apply() family of functions can do, so you might want to find out about that (Google is your friend here). ?lapply would get you started with R's Help, but that's rather dense. 4. You may also want to look at the plyr package which has organized and standardized in a convenient way much of the disparate functionality of the apply-type functions. 5. Finally, to answer your question, ?ave. Cheers, Bert

Dear all, I have a data frame and I want to calculate mean of the first column which is same name for example: CTK100 group
dput(test)
structure(list(Name = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 3L,
3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L,
2L), .Label = c("CTK100", "CTK103", "CTK121"), class = "factor"),
Score = c(236.9726, 207.0055, 237.3464, 224.4774, 236.5034,
206.7382, 233.94, 240.31, 240.9, 235.15, 223.36, 248.67,
249.25, 201.4051, 244.1689, 182.2756, 229.001, 241.3211,
196.0453, 232.6055, 225.0783, 196.0453, 232.6055, 225.0783
)), .Names = c("Name", "Score"), class = "data.frame", row.names =
c(NA,
24L))
How can write as a programme? because the original file has more than 60K
names with duplicates.
Many thanks
Nico
