HI, I assume that you have a data.frame structure. dat1<- structure(list(Year = c(2000L, 2000L, 2000L, 2000L, 2001L, 2001L, 2001L, 2001L, 2001L), Area = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L), Q = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 25L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), Bin = c(5L, 10L, 15L, 20L, 1L, 5L, 10L, 15L, 20L), FD = c(0L, 1L, 23L, 12L, 4L, 1L, 3L, 15L, 4L)), .Names = c("Year", "Area", "Q", "Bin", "FD"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -9L))
aggregate(.~Year+Area,data=dat1[,-3],sum) # Year Area Bin FD #1 2000 1 50 36 #2 2001 1 1 4 #3 2001 2 50 23 #or library(plyr) ddply(dat1,.(Year,Area),colwise(sum,c("Bin","FD"))) # Year Area Bin FD #1 2000 1 50 36 #2 2001 1 1 4 #3 2001 2 50 23 A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nicolas L. Gutierrez <nicol...@uw.edu> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Thursday, April 4, 2013 8:42 AM Subject: [R] summing vectors Hi All, Year Area Q Bin FD I have a large dataset I need to re-structure. It looks something like this: 2000 1 1 5 0 2000 1 1 10 1 2000 1 1 15 23 2000 1 1 20 12 2000 1 1 25 1 2000 2 1 5 1 2000 2 1 10 3 2000 2 1 15 15 2000 2 1 20 11 2000 2 1 25 3 2000 1 2 5 0 2000 1 2 10 1 2000 1 2 15 23 2000 1 2 20 12 2000 1 2 25 1 2000 2 2 5 1 2000 2 2 10 3 2000 2 2 15 15 2000 2 2 20 11 2000 2 2 25 3 2001 … 2011 And I need to create different vectors (Bin, FD) summing by year and/or by area; For example, I need a new dataset: Bin, FD[Year=2000,Area=1], FD[Year=2000,Area=2], FD[Year=2000], FD[Year=2001,Area=1], etc. Any help really appreciated!!
