[R] Summarize by two or more attributes

[Felipe Carrillo]

Like This?

x<-rep(c(1,15),10)
y<-rnorm(20)
z<-c(rep("auto",10),rep("bus",10))
a<-rep(c(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5),2)
#Create Data frame
Df<-data.frame(Source=x,Rate=y,Bin=a,Type=z)
Df

ddply(Df,c('Type','Bin'),summarise,Summed=sum(Rate))

 # Adding a column to Df
ddply(Df,c('Type','Bin'),mutate,Summed=sum(Rate))
  
# Convert the result to a list
dlply(Df,c('Type','Bin'),summarise,Summed=sum(Rate))
