[R] ANOVA subject-wise means

Dear Jake,

An easy way to find the value of one variable by different levels of
another is using by().  For example, turning to the good old mtcars
data again:

> by(mtcars$mpg, factor(mtcars$cyl), mean)
factor(mtcars$cyl): 4
[1] 26.66364
------------------------------------------------------------
factor(mtcars$cyl): 6
[1] 19.74286
------------------------------------------------------------
factor(mtcars$cyl): 8
[1] 15.1

Which can be easily expanded:

# You can look at the output on your own
by(mtcars$mpg, INDICES = list(factor(mtcars$cyl), factor(mtcars$am)), mean)

In short, the first argument is the data, the second argument is a
list of the variables by which to calculate, the third argument, which
is some function.  In this case, the mean.

Is this what you wanted, or did you want something specifically from
the ANOVA model?

Cheers,

Josh
