Clue: make a column representing the desired classification, and then use any 
of the methods you considered to do the summarizing.

One possible approach:
myframe$wend <- as.factor(ifelse(weekday( myframe$dates) %in% 
c("Saturday","Sunday"), "Weekend", "Weekday"))

Hi, all

Here I created a data frame like

mydates<- seq(as.Date("2010-05-29"), length = 43, by = "day")
myvalues<-runif(43,0,1)
myframe<-data.frame(dates=mydates, day=weekdays(dates), value=myvalues)

dates day value
1 2010-05-29 Saturday 0.14576143
2 2010-05-30 Sunday 0.37669604
3 2010-05-31 Monday 0.74813943
4 2010-06-01 Tuesday 0.34677680

…

39 2010-07-06 Tuesday 0.69944349
40 2010-07-07 Wednesday 0.62712550
41 2010-07-08 Thursday 0.76714978
42 2010-07-09 Friday 0.72078298
43 2010-07-10 Saturday 0.80048954

How do I add weekday and weekend value in each week? I want a resulting data 
frame like

Dates day value
2010-05-29 weekend 0.5225
2010-05-31 weekday 2.2352

…

2010-07-05 weekday 3.xxxx
2010-07-10 weekend 0.8005


The closest I find is

But this one only summing values in each week, it does not sum values by 
weekday and weekend. I have been thinking of using functions such as aggregate, 
ddply, but without a clue. Anybody who can give some suggestions will be highly 
appreciated. Thanks!
