*Hi all,

I know this is probably basic, but I have proven to be a slow learner in any
programming language.   Anyhow,
how can I calculate the SD for each person in my table?  I have two patients
in this R data.frame, 7200 and 23955.
I extracted this from a relational database, but am I better off attempting
to compute SD in SQL, or is this easily accomplished in R?


*      SUBJECT_ID  HR
1        7200 158
2        7200 165
3        7200 138
4        7200 152
5        7200 139
6        7200 157
7        7200 186
8       23955 167
9       23955 162
10      23955 171
11      23955 139
12      23955 170
13      23955 177
14      23955 180
15      23955 176
16      23955 172
17      23955 179
18      23955 181
19      23955 169
20      23955 168
21      23955 185
22      23955 181
23      23955 191
24      23955 179
25      23955 178
26      23955 184
27      23955 179
28      23955 172
29      23955 173
30      23955 182
31      23955 174

So, what I would want is a table of 800 patients with a SD for their heart
rates:

subject id       Heart Rate SD

7200              20 (for example)
23955           18 (for example)*

Thank you!
