Try using the function in the plyr package. E.g., > z <- data.frame( # your toy dataset run = c(1, 2, 1, 2), par = c(10, 10, 20, 20), measured = c(12, 14, 20, 26)) > library(plyr) > ddply(z, .(par), summarize, meanMeasured=mean(measured), sdMeasured=sd(measured)) par meanMeasured sdMeasured 1 10 13 1.414214 2 20 23 4.242641
