Hi all, I have a data frame with column over which I would like to run repeated functions for data analysis. Currently I am only running recursively over two columns where I column 1 has two states over which I split and column two has 3 states. The function therefore runs 2 x 3 = 6 times as shown when running the following code:
mydata <- data.frame(userid = c(5, 6, 5, 6, 5, 6), taskid = c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3), stuff = 11:16) mydata mydata <- mydata[with(mydata, order(userid, taskid)), ] mydata lapply(split(mydata, mydata[,1]), function(x){ lapply(split(x, x[,2]), function(y){ print(paste("result:",y)) }) }) This traverses the tree like this: 5,1 5,2 5,3 6,1 6,2 6,3 Is there an easier way of doing that? I would like to provide the two columns (index 1 and index 2) directly and have the ?lapply function perform its lambda function directly on each memebr of the tree automatically? How can I do that?
