Hello, I am trying to return a vector from a simply by but I cannot get it working, even using simplify=TRUE.
res <- data.frame(ID=c("a","a","a","b","b"),Score=c(0,1,2,0,1)) yoda <- by(res$Score,res$ID,max,simplify=T) class(yoda) [1] "by" I would like it to return a vector with the names as the ID column. The only way I could work out how to do this was result <- as.vector(yoda) names(result) <- names(yoda) result a b 2 1 Is there a better way?
