Hi,
I am quite new to R (but like it very much!), so please apologize if
this is a too simple question.
I have a large data frame consisting of data from a survey. There is,
for example, information about age and education (a numeric value from
1-9). Now I would like to extract the total amount of each type of
education within different age groups (e.g. from 18 to 25, from 25 to
35 etc.). How could I achieve this? (I have been thinking about
using 'subset', but if there are better ideas they are welcome :) )
An example might clarify my point. Let's assume the following data:
# age edu
1 25 2
2 33 5
3 22 3
4 19 1
5 21 3
6 30 4
7 32 4
8 31 1
What I want to have is:
edu 18-25 25-35 ...
1 1 1
2 1 0
3 2 0
4 0 2
5 0 1
Thanks in advance & kind regards,
Kimmo
