Hi -I am using R v 2.13.0. I am trying to use the aggregate function to calculate the percent at length for each Trip_id and CommonName. Here is a small subset of the data. Trip_id Vessel CommonName Length Count 1 230 Sunlight Shad,American 19 1 2 230 Sunlight Shad,American 20 1 3 230 Sunlight Shad,American 21 1 4 230 Sunlight Shad,American 23 1 5 230 Sunlight Shad,American 26 1 6 230 Sunlight Shad,American 27 1 7 230 Sunlight Shad,American 30 2 8 230 Sunlight Shad,American 33 1 9 230 Sunlight Shad,American 34 1 10 230 Sunlight Shad,American 37 1 11 230 Sunlight Herring,Blueback 20 1 12 230 Sunlight Herring,Blueback 21 2 13 230 Sunlight Herring,Blueback 22 5 14 230 Sunlight Herring,Blueback 26 1 15 230 Sunlight Alewife 17 1 16 230 Sunlight Alewife 18 1 17 230 Sunlight Alewife 20 2 18 230 Sunlight Alewife 21 4 19 230 Sunlight Alewife 22 16 20 230 Sunlight Alewife 23 22 21 230 Sunlight Alewife 24 16 22 230 Sunlight Alewife 25 4 23 230 Sunlight Alewife 26 1 24 230 Sunlight Alewife 27 2 25 230 Sunlight Alewife 28 2 26 231 Western Venture Shad,American 23 1 27 231 Western Venture Shad,American 24 1 28 231 Western Venture Shad,American 25 1 29 231 Western Venture Shad,American 28 2 30 231 Western Venture Shad,American 29 2
My code is: myfun<-function (x) x/sum(x) b<-with(data,aggregate(x=list(Percent=Count),by=list(Trip_id=Trip_id,Length=Length,Species=CommonName), FUN="myfun")) My issue is that the percent is not be calculated by Trip_id and CommonName. The result is that each row has a percent of 1 indicating that myfun is not dividing by the sum of counts with a Trip_id/CommonName group. Any help would be appreciated.
