Dear R users,
imagine i have a dataframe and an indexing vector with the length of the amount of columns of the dataframe. Is there any convenient way to combine the colums of the dataframe into vectors (or straight away apply fundtions to these subsets) according to the indexing vector in a similar manner to the tapply function? For example, in the follwoing case, I would like to combine columns 1 and two into one vector, and columns 3-4 into another: test = as.data.frame(matrix(1:20, ncol = 5, nrow=4)) test.ind =c(1,1,2,2,2) Thanks a lot!
