[R] Re shaping a dataframe with conditional summary of columns - apply or reshape?

[David Hewitt]

>> x$survey1[x$count==0] <- 0
>> x$survey1[x$count %in% 1:11] <- 1
>> x$survey1[x$count > 11] <- 2
>>  x.wide <- reshape(x, v.names="survey1", idvar="location",
>> timevar="survey1", direction="wide")
>> x.wide <- x.wide[order(x.wide$location),]
>> x.wide$var1 <- tapply(x$var1, x$location, mean)
>> x.wide

Oops, spoke too soon. Should have put this in the example, but the locations
can be replicated in subsequent years (observations from the same place
through time), so reshape drops all but the first. Any ideas?
