[R] How to simplify

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

assuming that you have the same number of measurements in each 
sub-data.frame, you could use something like:

cal <- lapply(1:10, function(x) data.frame(time = c(0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 
6, 8, 10), X1 = rnorm(8, 10:3)))
##############
rowMeans(as.data.frame(lapply(cal, "[", "X1")))


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
