Thank you Dennis, your tips are really helpful.
I don't quite understand the lm(y~mouse) part; my intention was -- in
pseudo code -- lm(y(Enzyme) ~ y(each elem)).
In addition, attach(d) seems necessary before using lm(y~mouse), and
since d$mouse has a length 125, while each elem for each region has a
length 5, it generates the following error:
> coefs = ddply(d, .(regions, elem), coefun)
Error in model.frame.default(formula = y ~ mouse, drop.unused.levels = TRUE) :
variable lengths differ (found for 'mouse')
