I created a function: summary.aggregate <- function(y, ...) { temp.mean <- aggregate(y, FUN=mean, ...) temp.sd <- aggregate(y, FUN=sd, ...) temp.length <- aggregate(y, FUN=length, ...) temp <- data.frame(cbind(mean=temp.mean$x,stdev=temp.sd$x,n=temp.length$x)) } this outputs e.g.: mean stdev n 1 645.6125 65.94129 60 2 655.2121 70.64094 60 3 633.3161 80.48620 60 4 650.3897 77.59191 60 5 630.4955 84.98888 60 6 656.2608 66.16100 60 7 666.1775 74.39796 60 8 663.1543 71.10769 60 Is there an easy way to add a column name to the first column?
