Dear R experts---

Has anyone written parallel versions of "by" (i.e., mcby) and "ave"
(i.e. mcave) ?  I did ask a question like this a year ago, and then
the answer was no.

for those who are googling the group for the answer to this question,
in the meantime, the poor man's version of "by" is mclapply( split(
ds, factor ), FUN )

I don't know the poor man's version of "ave".

sincerely,  /iaw

'split' works on vectors , too.

For ave, just parallelize the lapply in this (taken from the ave source):

 split(x, g) <- lapply(spllit(x, g), FUN)
