Hello, Or ?tapply.ave will return a vector with the length of the input, tapply just one value per group.
ave(test$Score, test$Name, FUN = mean) # 24 values tapply(test$Score, test$Name, FUN = mean) # 3 values Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 25-09-2012 15:54, Bert Gunter escreveu:
Nico: 1. Thanks for the example. 2. Please read -- or at least peruse -- the tutorial, An Introduction to R (or other tutorial that you might find on the Web, there are many) to familiarize yourself with R's features. 3. This is an example of what the apply() family of functions can do, so you might want to find out about that (Google is your friend here). ?lapply would get you started with R's Help, but that's rather dense. 4. You may also want to look at the plyr package which has organized and standardized in a convenient way much of the disparate functionality of the apply-type functions. 5. Finally, to answer your question, ?ave.
