Sorry about the bug, which is now fixed. You can get the fix by entering
source('http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/*checkout*/Hmisc/trunk/R/summary.formula.s?rev=661')
until we update the package.

I was using summarize() in a data set in which one of the levels of
the by variable was "". The summary statistic was consistently off by
one level and the "" level was not in the output data frame. I tried
to report it as a bug, but I could not log into the Hmisc bug
reporting website to do so. I searched for this in the email
archives. If it's there, I failed to find it. Should I try to pursue
this as a bug, or am I using summarize incorrectly? Here is my
example along with the output:
tst1 <- data.frame(a=factor(c("", "A", "B", "C")),
+ x=1:4)
tst1
a x
1 1
2 A 2
3 B 3
4 C 4
with(tst1, summarize(x, by=llist(a), FUN=mean))
a x
1 A 1
2 B 2
3 C 3
with(tst1, aggregate(x, by=list(a), FUN=mean))
Group.1 x
1 1
2 A 2
3 B 3
4 C 4
