Hi

Trying to work out that:
Each person can take from 1 to 9 drugs. And data frame looks like


id      drug
1       d
2       g
2       d
2       r
3       e
3       a
...........

Q: How many drugs one person takes on average?

Something like:

mean(
  with(dfrm,
       tapply(drug, id, length), na,rm=TRUE)
    ) )

(Not sure if the na.rm is needed , but it cannot hurt)
