[R] combining rows

[Kang Tu]

Would you mind show us a simple example of your data? It is hard to
understand your request directly from your text. 

If you just want to combine the data, you can try cbind() function
directly, or you can use subset() function to get a subset of your
data.frame. If you want to selectively aggregate some statistics you can
try aggregate() function. If you want a more complex aggregation, you
may want to try ddply() in 'plyr' package.
