Hi Juvin,
The error "dim(X) must have a positive length" usually shows when you are
passing a vector to "apply", ie.
apply(1:5,2,mean)
#Error in apply(1:5, 2, mean) : dim(X) must have a positive length
Also, if your dataset originally has "1206" columns, it is not clear why you

Unfortunately, it not simple mean calculation, because same individual

Hello,
If you want to calculate the mean weight by Specie and Food.item, you
can use ?aggregate.
In what follows, I've named your EXAMPLE ex and your SOLUTION sol. Note
that the result is different from sol.
(No exemplo não há Peixe, é Fish, e os números são outros.)

Hello All,
I have a data frame (dput information below) with food item weight for fish
species.
I need to calculate the Mean proportion by weight of each food item for
each specie, as show in solution data frame (dput information below).
I use the ddply function (plyr package) in two steps. Firs
Hello,
Or ?tapply.
ave will return a vector with the length of the input, tapply just one
value per group.
ave(test$Score, test$Name, FUN = mean) # 24 values
tapply(test$Score, test$Name, FUN = mean) # 3 values
Hope this helps,

Dear R-helpers,
my little function below calculates the group score (tmpGroupMean) of an
item,
appends a "_mean" on its name and stores its value on this name.
However, it does not calculate the mean of these scores (LVMean) in the same
row correctly,
as you can see in the below output which stran
