Hi,

I am trying to calculate Principal Component Scores per id per year using
the psych package. The following lines provide the scores per obeservation  

pca = data.frame(read.table(textConnection("    id  year  A  B  C  D 
1001  1972       64     56      14      23
1003  1972       60     55      62    111 
1005     1972    57     51      10      47
1007     1972    59     49      7       10
1009     1972    65     50      9       32
1011     1972    52     58      3       5
1013     1972    63     52      9       27
1001     1973    65     56      14      25
1003     1973    61     55      62      7
1005     1973    58     51      10      47
1007     1973    60     49      7       19
1009     1973    66     50      9       32
1011     1973    53     58      3       5
1013     1973    64     52      9       28
1001     1974    66     56      14      23
1003     1974    62     55      62      11
1005     1974    59     51      10      46
1007     1974    61     49      7       10
1009     1974    67     50      9       38
1011     1974    54     58      3       5
1013     1974    65     52      9       24
1001     1975    67     56      1       23
1003     1975    63     55      6       1
1005     1975    60     51      1       47
1007     1975    62     49      7       10
1009     1975    68     50      9       32
1011     1975    55     58      3       5
1013     1975  66       52      9       27"),head=TRUE))

library(psych)
pcascores<-principal(pca[,-2], nfactors=1, score=TRUE)

However, the scores should be based on the observations per year rather than
the full set of observations. The final output should be a data frame with 7
rows (one for each id) and 4 columns (one for each year) filled with the
Principal Component Scores per id per year. Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!
