Hi Justin:
I'm not dead certain this is what you were after, but try this:
dat<-data.frame(id = rep(1:5, each = 200),
state=sample(1:3, 1000,
replace=TRUE, prob=c(0.7,0.05,0.25)),
V1=runif(1000, 1, 10), V2=rnorm(1000))
## input a data frame, output a data frame...
loopFun <- function(d) {
rle.dat <- rle(d$state)
to <- cumsum(rle.dat$lengths)
from <- c(1, 1 + to[-length(to)])
## data frame of input parameters for mdply() below
subs <- data.frame(from = from, to = to)
## compute mean & sum from data subset
## between from and to
foo <- function(from, to) {
subd <- d[from:to, ]
data.frame(v1mean = mean(subd$V1),
v2sum = sum(subd$V2))
}
u <- mdply(subs, foo)
data.frame(index = seq_along(from),
state = rle.dat$values,
u)
}
w <- ddply(dat, .(id), loopFun)
My result looks like:
> head(w)
id index state from to v1mean v2sum
1 1 1 2 1 1 6.077463 -0.9980917
2 1 2 3 2 2 5.013528 -0.4693002
3 1 3 1 3 10 6.066698 3.3607026
4 1 4 3 11 11 3.235843 0.8072452
5 1 5 1 12 13 3.385865 1.5167562
6 1 6 3 14 14 4.236730 -1.4976861
> tail(w)
