Hi
For first question, maybe I am completely wrong but
cor(swiss[,-1], swiss[,1])
should give you what you want in one step.
Second question
Without an example it is hard to say but maybe aggregate is the way forward.
> aggregate(iris[,1:4], list(iris$Species), function (x) c(mean=mean(x),
> sd=sd(x)))
Group.1 Sepal.Length.mean Sepal.Length.sd Sepal.Width.mean Sepal.Width.sd
1 setosa 5.0060000 0.3524897 3.4280000 0.3790644
2 versicolor 5.9360000 0.5161711 2.7700000 0.3137983
3 virginica 6.5880000 0.6358796 2.9740000 0.3224966
Cheers
Petr
