[R] Sorting DataFrames

[Ethan Brown]

Hello Samantha, I'm having some trouble understanding your question in
terms of what's happening in R. Are these "bins" columns of a
data.frame? Rows?

It's helpful for us to have a small example to look at--for instance,
you could create a small subset of your data called x, then type the
command

dump("x", file=stdout())

which will print an expression that will recreate the object x.

Best,
Ethan

How would I summarise this to being only the maximum count per bin alongisde the corresponding height (but not the maximum depth - i want the depth at which the maximum number of animals occurs).
