hi, I practice R programing by the step in <<R In Action>>; when i test by function, i get error like these; call for help! dstats <- function(x){c(mean=mean(x), sd=sd(x))}> by(mtcars[,c('mpg', 'hp')], mtcars$am, dstats)Show Traceback Rerun with Debug Error in is.data.frame(x) : (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double' ------------------ BestRegards Su Wenlong Phone:13408010439 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
