You could do it by aggregate and subsequent selection matching values from
your data frame but it is perfect example for powerfull list operations
> do.call("rbind",lapply(split(test, test$subject), function(x)
x[which.max(x[,2]),]))
subject time.ms V3
1 1 22 stringC
2 2 25 stringA
>
split splits data frame test according to subject variable into list of
sub data frames
function x computes which is maximum value in second column in each sub
data frame and selects the appropriate row
do.call takes the list and rbinds it to one final data frame.
