Dear list, I have a dataframe with two column as fellow.
> head(dat) V1 V2 0.15624 0.94567 0.26039 0.66442 0.16629 0.97822 0.23474 0.72079 0.11037 0.83760 0.14969 0.91312 I want to get the column V2 mean value based on the bin of column of V1. I write the code as fellow. It works, but I think this is not the elegant way. Any suggestions? dat<-read.table("dat.txt",head=F) ran<-seq(0,0.5,0.05) mm<-NULL for (i in c(1:(length(ran)-1))) { fil<- dat[,1] > ran[i] & dat[,1]<=ran[i+1] m<-mean(dat[fil,2]) mm<-c(mm,m) } mm Here is the first 20 lines of my data. > dput(head(dat,20)) structure(list(V1 = c(0.15624, 0.26039, 0.16629, 0.23474, 0.11037, 0.14969, 0.16166, 0.09785, 0.36417, 0.08005, 0.29597, 0.14856, 0.17307, 0.36718, 0.11621, 0.23281, 0.10415, 0.1025, 0.04238, 0.13525), V2 = c(0.94567, 0.66442, 0.97822, 0.72079, 0.8376, 0.91312, 0.88463, 0.82432, 0.55582, 0.9429, 0.78956, 0.93424, 0.87692, 0.83996, 0.74552, 0.9779, 0.9958, 0.9783, 0.92523, 0.99022 )), .Names = c("V1", "V2"), row.names = c(NA, 20L), class = "data.frame") ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
