[R] aggregate()?

[arun]

Also,

 with(d,aggregate(cbind(Nitrogenr=Nitrogen,Respirationr=Respiration),by=list(Soilr=Soil,Stockr=Stock),FUN=mean))

A.K.

Hello,

First of all avoid as.data.frame(cbind(...)). cbind() returns a matrix 
and since you are mixing numbers with characters, all of the matrix 
elements become character. Then as.data.frame transforms everything into 
factors. The correct way is

d <- data.frame(Stock, Soil, Nitrogen, Respiration)


As for your question, try the following.

r1 <- aggregate(Respiration ~ Soil + Stock, data = d, mean)
r2 <- aggregate(Nitrogen ~ Soil + Stock, data = d, mean)

merge(r1, r2, all = TRUE)


Hope this helps,
