You have to create a grouping variable, but it's pretty easy...
group1<-rep(1:3,each=nr[1,]) group2<-rep(1:3,each=nr[2,]) y.df<-data.frame(y=y,group1=group1,group2=group2) brkdn(y~group1,y.df,num.desc=c("mean","var")) brkdn(y~group2,y.df,num.desc=c("mean","var")) Jim ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
