Hi Lars,
Two comments:
1. You can achieve what you want with a slight modification of your
definition of s(), using the hint from the error message that you need an
argument '.':
s <- function(.) {
dplyr::summarise(., x1m = mean(X1),
x2m = mean(X2),
x3m = mean(X3),
x4m = mean(X4))
}
2. You have not given a great test case in how you set your two factors
because the two group_by()'s will give the identical groupings, An
alternative which confirms that the function s() does what you want might
be:
df <- data.frame(matrix(rnorm(40), 10, 4),
f1 = base::sample(letters[1:3],30,replace=TRUE),
f2 = base::sample(letters[4:6],30,replace=TRUE))
HTH,
Eric
