Hi

I need some help getting results from multiple linear models into a dataframe.
Let me explain the problem.

I have a dataframe with ejection fraction results measured over a number of 
quartiles and grouped by base_study.
My dataframe (800 different base_studies) looks like

> afvtprelvefs
basestudy     quartile   ef        ef_std   entropy
CBP0908020  1           21.6    0.53        3.27
CBP0908020  2           32.5    0.61        3.27
CBP0908020  3           30.8    0.63        3.27
CBP0908020  4           33.6    0.37        3.27
CBP0908022  1           42.4    0.52        1.80
CBP0908021  1           29.4    0.70        2.63
CBP0908021  2           29.2    0.42        2.63
CBP0908021  3           29.7    0.89        2.63
CBP0908021  4           29.3    0.50        2.63
CBP0908022  2           45.7    1.30        1.80
...

What I want to do is apply a weighted linear fit to the results from each base 
study and get the gradient out of it. I then want to plot the gradient against 
the entropy (which is constant for each base study).

I can get apply a linear fit with

> fits <- by(afvtprelvefs, afvtprelvefs$basestudy, function (x) lm (ef ~ 
> quartile, data=x, weights=1/ef_std))

but how do I get the results from that into a dataframe which I can use?

I thought I might get somewhere with
> sapply(fits, "[[", "coefficients")

But that doesn't give me the basestudy separately so that I can match up the 
results with the entropy results.

I am sure this must have been answered somewhere before but I have been unable 
to find a solution.
Many thanks for your help
