[R] calculating mean for samples

assuming that A1 is the data provided in the first post... it would be
helpful if you used dput() to copy into an email, so that we could
just copy the code and data right into a R session and be off and
running.  I hope this helps.

#I used dput() on the object A1
A1 <- (structure(list(s1 = c(0L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L),
    s2 = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L), s3 = c(0L,
    1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L), s4 = c(1L, 0L, 0L, 0L,
    1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L)), .Names = c("s1", "s2", "s3", "s4"
), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -10L)))

f <- do.call(rbind , rep(A1[sample(nrow(A1), 5),], 5))
d <- apply(f, MARGIN=1, FUN=mean)
mean(d[names(d)==s1])
mean(d[names(d)==s2])
mean(d[names(d)==s3])
mean(d[names(d)==s4])

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
