[R] count the cumulative for each subject

[bartjoosen]

How about:

tapply(dat$x1,dat$subject,function(x) cumsum(x))
which gives you a list for each subject.

this can be converted to a vector:
do.call("c",tapply(dat$x1,dat$subject,function(x) cumsum(x)))

So if your data frame is ordered for your subjects:

cbind(your.data.frame,do.call("c",tapply(dat$x1,dat$subject,function(x)
cumsum(x))))

Good luck

Bart
