Hello R folks,
Reproducible code below - I'm trying to do a weighted mean by a factor and
can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Mike
data<-data.frame(c(5,5,1,1,1),
c(10,8,9,5,3),
c("A","A","A","B","B"))
names(data)<-c("COUNT","MEASURE","TYPE")
## UNWEIGHTED MEAN BY TYPE
by(data$MEASURE,data$TYPE,mean)
## WEIGHTED MEAN WITHOUT TYPE
weighted.mean(x=data$MEASURE,w=data$COUNT)
## WEIGHTED MEAN BY TYPE - DOESNT WORK
by(data$MEASURE,data$TYPE,weighted.mean(x=data$MEASURE,w=data$COUNT))
