Hello, Is that a real doubt? Like Bert said, you should spend some time with an R tutorial. All you need is to know how to form a data.frame.
tmp <- tapply(tab1$S1, tab1$time, function(x) length(unique(x))) data.frame(time = names(tmp), S1 = tmp) Rui Barradas Citando Ashta <sewa...@gmail.com>: > Hi Rui , > > I tried that one before I send out my original message. > it gave me only this, > > tapply(tab$S1, tab$time, function(x) length(unique(x))) > 1 2 3 > 2 1 3 > > I am expecting an output of like this > > time S1 > 1 2 > 2 1 > 3 3 > > On Sat, Nov 21, 2015 at 2:38 PM, <ruipbarra...@sapo.pt> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> Try >> >> tapply(tab$S1, tab$time, function(x) length(unique(x))) >> >> Hope this helps, >> >> Rui Barradas >> >> Citando Ashta <sewa...@gmail.com>: >> >> Hi Bert and all, >> I have related question.
