[R] table function

[Daniel Malter]

Your question is a little vague. Do you just want to know how often z falls
in one the three classes? If so, you could either code an indicator variable
(e.g. z.cat) that expresses the three categories and then do table(z.cat).
Alternatively, you could just do

sum(z>0&z<1000)
sum(z>10000&z<3000)
sum(z>3000)

It's unclear to me whether you want to summarize the other variables (x and
y) for each of the categories of z. If you want to do that, use tapply (see
?tapply).

Betreff: [R] table function

hi,

i want to use the function table to build a table not of frequence (number
of time the vareable is repeated in a list or a data frame!!) but in
function of classes I don t find a clear explnation in  examples of  ?table
!!!

example

x      y        z
1    0       100
5    1       1500
6    1       1200 
2    2       500 
1    1       3500 
5     2     2000 
8     5     4500

i want to do a table summerizing the number of variable where z is in
[0-1000],],[1000-3000], [> 3000]

thank you very much for your help
