dear R wizards---more ignorance on my part, exacerbated by too few examples in the function documentations. > d <- data.frame( id=rep(1:3,3), x=rnorm(9), y=rnorm(9)) Question 1: how do I work with the output of "by"? for example, > b <- by( d, d$id, function(x) coef(lm( y ~ x, data=x ) )) > b d$id: 1 (Intercept) x 0.2303 0.3618

Hi Folks, I've encountered something I hadn't been consciously aware of previously, and I'm wondering what the explanation might be. In (on another list) using R to demonstrate the difference between different contrasts in 'lm' I set up an example where Y is sampled from three different normal distributions according to the levels ("A","B","C")
