Hi John , Petr and R users I am sorry that my data was not readable formate in the last email. Again I am trying to send it. hope this time, that table can be readable.As I mentioned earlier that I was struggling to figure out on how I can calculate the average from the two tables in R. Any one can help me? really your helpwould be grateful- I am spending so much time to figure it out. It should not be so hard, I think.I have very big data but I have created a hypothetical data for simplification.for exampleI have : table 1Table 1: species occurrence data> table1 X speciesX speciesY speciesZ speciesXX1 Plot1 1 0 1 02 Plot2 0 1 1 03 plot3 1 0 0 14 plot4 0 0 1 0Table 2: table 2. species tolerance data>table2 X EnviA EnviB EnviC1 SpeciesX 0.21 0.40 0.172 SpeciesY 0.10 0.15 0.183 SpeciesXY 0.14 0.16 0.19You may noticed that table 2 does not have species Z wh! ich was in tableTable 3: Now I want to get the average value of species tolerance in each plot based on each environmental value (EnviA or EnviB etc).The example of the out come (final table I was looking for it).Results table 1a: averages species tolerance in each plot based on EnviAsuch as: > table3.a X speciesX speciesY speciesZ speciesXX average1 plot1 0.21 NA Nodata 0.14 0.1752 plot2 NA 0.1 Nodata NA 0.1003 plot3 NA NA Nodata 0.14 0.1404 plot4 0.21 NA Nodata NA 0.210Table 4> table3.b: Result table 1b: average species tolerance in plot based on EnviB X speciesX speciesY speciesZ speciesXX average1 plot1 0.4 NA Nodata 0.16 0.282 plot2 NA 0.15 Nodata NA 0.153 plot3 NA NA Nodata 0.16 0.164 plot4 0.4 NA Nodata NA 0.40I hope this time the data would be readable formate. Would any one help me how I! can calculate these?ThanksKristi Golver== > To: kristi.glo...@hotmail.com > CC: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] averaging two tables (rows with columns) > From: petr.pi...@precheza.cz > Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 18:10:33 +0200 > > Hi > > as already mentioned your data can not be deciphered.
