Re: [R] aggregate data.frame based on column class

Hi, May be I misunderstood ur question. You could do this: res<-aggregate(.~group,data=data1,mean) res$gender<-data1$gender[match(res$gender,as.numeric(data1$gender))]  res #  group x gender #1 1 -1.074343  m #2 2  1.750686  f A.K. - Original Message - From: Mar

Re: [R] aggregate data.frame based on column class
