by(dataFrame, groupId, FUN) applies FUN a bunch of data.frames (row subsets of the dataFrame input). mean() returns NA for data.frames. You could use FUN=colMeans if you wanted column means or FUN=function(x)mean(colMeans(x)) or FUN=function(x)mean(unlist(x)) if you wanted some version of a grand

You are trying to take the mean of data frames. There is no "data.frame" method for mean(). Try: by(hold,Arm,function(x){sapply(x,mean)}) BTW what's the point of "na.rm=TRUE" in your call? There are no missing values in the data that you present. In future, please use dput() to present

When I run by, I get an error message and no results. Any help in understanding what is wrong would be appreciated. Error message: Warning messages: 1: In mean.default(data[x, , drop = FALSE], ...) : argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA 2: In mean.default(data[x, , drop = FALSE], .

Hi Calum, Does this include an error tolerance for the match between the ordered and delivered quantities? That is, is it okay to have a maximum of one unit difference or do deliveries have to exactly match orders? Jim On Sun, Dec 27, 2015 at 10:08 PM, Polwart Calum (COUNTY DURHAM AND DARLINGTON

Yes. This is an _email_ group. It is not a web based discussion group. There is an "archive" of emails somewhere around, but the proper (at least IMO) way to ask a new question is to send a new email. A bit "old fashioned", but in many way it is simpler for people on many different types of compute

Hi ! I use maxNR function (from maxLik package) to estimate parameters via maximum likelihood and Newton–Raphson method. Context : I have a variable Y which follows a Gumbel distribution of parameters Beta1X1 + Beta2X2 (location parameter) and sigma (scale parameter). I have to estimate sigma,
