Dear All,

I have a database of 200 observations named myD.
In the dataframe there are a column named code (with codes varying from 1 to 
77), a column named "prevalence" with some quantitative measurements are given 
and an column named Pr_mean, with no values.

I would like to set a cycle to compute the average of prevalence values for 
each different code and store the averages under the empty field Pr_mean.

This is what I wrote:

# Set a cycle
for (i in 1:nrow(myD)) {
mycode = myD$code[i]
mymean[i] = mean(prevalence)
myD$Pr_mean[i] = mymean[i]
}

With the above cycle I am able to compute the average of all 200 observations 
which is then written in every cell.
I understand that a condition is missing, that indicates that the average has 
to be computed amongst the observations showing  the same codes values.

Could you please help me ?


D.
