Hello everyone. Say we have the following:
a <- matrix(c(-75, 3, 5, 9, 2, 3, 5), nrow=1, dim=list("06092010", c("ES", "PT", "Z ", "CF", "GX", "ST", "EO"))) b <- matrix(c(-5, 2, 4, 12, 5), nrow=1, dim=list("06092010", c("PT", "CF", "AT", "EM", "ST"))) d <- cbind(a, b) I want to calculate sums of the columns that have similar column names and then output this summary What I want to have is an array that looks like: ES PT Z CF... -75 -2 5 11... I tried the following, but it did not work: aggregate(d, list(colnames(d)), sum) How can I achieve my objective? Thank you in advance.
