Hi all,

New to R, so this may be obvious to some.
I've been trying to figure this out for a while, I have a dataset "events"
that looks something like this: 

Area    NAME    DATE    X       Xn      Y
1               X       1/10/10         1       1       0
1               Y       1/11/10         0       0       1
1               X       1/12/10         1       0       0
1               X       1/12/10         1       0       0
1               X       1/12/10         1       0       0
2               X       2/12/10         1       1       0
2               X       2/12/10         1       0       0
2               Y       2/12/10         0       0       1
2               X       2/13/10         1       0       0
2               X       2/13/10         1       0       0
2               X       2/13/10         1       0       0
2               X       2/14/10         1       0       0
2               X       2/14/10         1       0       0
2               X       2/14/10         1       1       0
2               X       2/14/10         1       0       0
3               X       7/27/11         1       0       0
3               X       7/27/11         1       1       0
3               X       7/27/11         1       0       0
3               X       7/28/11         1       0       0
3               X       7/28/11         1       1       0
3               X       7/28/11         1       0       0
3               X       7/28/11         1       0       0
3               Y       7/28/11         0       0       1
3               X       7/28/11         1       0       0
3               X       7/28/11         1       1       0
3               Y       7/28/11         0       0       1
3               X       7/28/11         1       0       0
3               X       7/29/11         1       0       0
3               X       7/29/11         1       0       0
3               X       7/29/11         1       1       0

X and Y are events. Every row represents a single event happening, with a 1
indicating which one happens at that time. Xn indicates X happening at
night. I want to bootstrap these events over days but I think I need to
summarize them first, ie. get something that looks like this: 

Area            DATE            X       Xn      Y
1                       1/10/10         1       1       0
1                       1/11/10         0       0       1
1                       1/12/10         3       0       0
2                       2/12/10         2       1       1
etc.

and then for each Area, bootstrap the data over the days. Any ideas? I've
tried using the 'reshape' package but I don't know how to sum over parts of
the columns as defined by the DATE values...

Many thanks ahead!
