Thanks Tengfei,
I have another question. 
> df=data.frame(name=c('AA','BB', 
> 'CC'),c1=c(23,123,5),c2=c(54,5,4),c3=c(0.999,1,23),c4=c(0.78,0.99,54))
> df
  name  c1 c2     c3    c4
1   AA  23 54  0.999  0.78
2   BB 123  5  1.000  0.99
3   CC   5  4 23.000 54.00

> df1=data.frame(name=c('BB','AA', 'DD'),c5=c(98,87,54),c6=c(7,6,3))
> df1
  name c5 c6
1   BB 98  7
2   AA 87  6
3   DD 54  3

now I want to get interaction for df and df1 in terms of name. this is
  name  c1   c2     c3    c4   c5   c6
  AA     23   54  0.999  0.78  87   6
  BB    123   5   1.000   0.99  98   7

could give advice?

Hi, 
Thanks, actually I mentioned in the reply, you need to turn the matrix into 
data frame in the end if use this method. e.g
> df=data.frame(name=c('AA','BB','AA'),c1=c(23,123,203),c2=c(54,5,98),c3=c(0.999,1,0.79),c4=c(0.78,0.99,0.99))

> aa=by(df[,2:5],df$name,mean)> dd=do.call('rbind',aa)> df=data.frame(dd)> df   
>  c1 c2     c3    c4AA 113 76 0.8945 0.885

BB 123  5 1.0000 0.990

No, No, No. rbind and cbind binds vectors as rows or columns of

***matrix***, result is not a data frame



do.call("rbind",aa)

    X069rutil X102anatas

105      26.9        7.9

200      22.8       10.6

400      30.6       13.3

600      50.8       20.6

800      78.7         NA

exp.df<-do.call("rbind",aa)

str(exp.df)

 num [1:5, 1:2] 26.9 22.8 30.6 50.8 78.7 7.9 10.6 13.3 20.6 NA

 - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2

  ..$ : chr [1:5] "105" "200" "400" "600" ...

  ..$ : chr [1:2] "X069rutil" "X102anatas"



If some object has rectangular shape and has column names it does not

automatically mean that it is data frame
