Re: [R] calculating the occurrences of distinct observations in the subsets of a dataframe

[Tóth Dénes]

Hi!

Sorry, I made an error in the previous e-mail.
So try this:
by(df[,-1],df$id,function(x) apply(x,2,tabulate))

This gives you a list. You can rearrange it into a data frame or a 3d
array if you wish.

Regards,
  Denes
