If you first look at the output of the inner core of your expression:
split(d.1, d.1$v1)
you might get a hint. Then make this change.
cbind(d.1, v4=c(lapply(split(d.1, d.1$v1), function(x) cumsum(x$v3)),
recursive=T))
There is no variable named "y" in your data frame, so "x$y"
is the
wrong thing to use in the function definition.
You didn't say which variable you wanted the cumsum of, but v3 seemed
to make sense...
