Don't use ddply because you aren't returning a data.frame. Hist objects are lists so use dlply.
dats <- structure(list(x = c(4L, 93L, 21L, 83L, 75L, 87L, 87L, 78L, 50L, 76L, 86L, 65L, 84L, 40L, 39L, 26L), panel = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L)), .Names = c("x", "panel"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -16L)) #please start using dput -- I've asked this before dlply(dats, "panel", function(d) hist(d$x)) It's up to you to interpret the results.
