Hello, how can I use the function "cor()" with x and y in function "aggregate()" or "by()"? The data are like this: x y group 1 4 B 2 4 B 3 5 C I would like obtain the correlation between x and y for each subset. I don't want to use the workaround with the function subset(), because I have many groups. Thanks in advance. Christfried Kunath KC
