[R] Calculated mean value based on another column bin from dataframe.

[Fabrice Tourre]

Dear list,

I have a dataframe with two column as fellow.

> head(dat)
       V1      V2
 0.15624 0.94567
 0.26039 0.66442
 0.16629 0.97822
 0.23474 0.72079
 0.11037 0.83760
 0.14969 0.91312

I want to get the column V2 mean value based on the bin of column of
V1. I write the code as fellow. It works, but I think this is not the
elegant way. Any suggestions?

dat<-read.table("dat.txt",head=F)
ran<-seq(0,0.5,0.05)
mm<-NULL
for (i in c(1:(length(ran)-1)))
{
    fil<- dat[,1] > ran[i] & dat[,1]<=ran[i+1]
    m<-mean(dat[fil,2])
    mm<-c(mm,m)
}
mm

Here is the first 20 lines of my data.

> dput(head(dat,20))
