[R] cbind results to original data frame

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Have you tried to merge the two datasets? See ?merge for the details.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.
~ Roger Brinner

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.

Onderwerp: [R] cbind results to original data frame

I have the following script, which gives me a prediction for each of  
my observations (> 49k), and subsets my data frame by site (n = 183):

ts <- (by(dem16,dem16['Site'],function(dat)
		try(predict(nls(Tw ~ mu + ((alpha - mu)/
  	                   (1 + exp(gamma*(B - Mean_air)))),
  	         data = dat,
  	         start = list(mu = 0.8, alpha = 21.8, gamma = 0.22, B =

12.8),
		 algorithm = "port",
		 lower = list(0,0,0,0))))))

What I would like to do is apply the resulting "ts" list to my  
original data frame so I can perform a goodness of fit test. However,  
the resulting "ts" is a list only as long as the number of sites  
(183), so I can't force it to cbind to my original data frame with  
49,000 observations. How can I format ts to cbind with dem16 (the  
original)?

Thank you,
Ingrid
