Can't compute row means of two columns of a dataframe.
I have a data frame with three columns, TotalInches, Low20, High20. For each row of the dataset, I am trying to compute the mean of Low20 and High20.
xxxz <- structure(list(TotalInches =
c(58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65,
66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76), Low20 = c(84, 87,
90, 93, 96, 99, 102...

Can't compute row means of two columns of a dataframe.
Use apply(), not by().
xxxz$av20 <- apply(xxxz[,c("Low20","High20")],1, mean)

It does not add the means to the original data.frame if you wanted it there
but that is easy enough to do.
