Hello,

I have the following dataset. Please note that there are missing values on
records 4 and 5:

id,age,weight,height,gender
1,22,180,72,m
2,13,100,67,f
3,5,40,40,f
4,6,42,,f
5,12,98,66,
6,50,255,60,m

I'm using the "By" function like this:

list1 <- by(dataset[c("weight", "height")],
            dataset[c("age", "gender")],
            colMeans,
                         na.rm = TRUE)

I named the dataframe "dat"

aggregate( dat[,c("weight", "height")],
list( age=dat$age, gender=dat$gender), FUN=mean, na.rm=TRUE)
  age gender weight height
1  12            98     66
2   5      f     40     40
3   6      f     42    NaN
4  13      f    100     67
5  22      m    180     72
6  50      m    255     60

I then convert the list above to a frame like this:

as.data.frame( do.call(rbind, list1) )

I get this output from the code above:

   weight height
1     40     40
2     42    NaN
3    100     67
4    180     72
5    255     60

I want to get the output above, but I also want two additional columns
named "age" and "gender" (with the age and gender values from the "By"
function output).

How would I do this?
