Re: [R] Dealing with null values Aggregate function

Furthermore, aggregate passes extra arguments to FUN, so explicit declaration of na.rm = T can be done in the call to aggregate directly: aggregate(cbind(v1, v2) ~ v3, data = testDF, FUN = mean, na.rm = T) HTH, Jon On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 5:22 AM, Jannis wrote: > Andy, > > > have a look at ?mea

Andy, have a look at ?mean. The na.omit argument set to TRUE should solve your problem. The use in aggregate would be something like: aggregate(x = testDF, by = list(testDF$v3), FUN = function(x) mean(x,na.rm=TRUE)) HTH Jannis On 05/17/2011 04:27 AM, Andrew McFadden wrote: Hi R users
