Warm greetings to you all.

Using the tapply function below:
data<-read.table("FD1month",col.names = c("Dates","count"))
x=data$count
  f<-factor(data$Dates)
AB<- tapply(x,f,mean)


I made a simple calculation. The result, stored in AB, is of the form
below. But an effort to write AB to a file as a data frame fails. When I
use the write table, it only produces the count column and strip of the
first column (date).

But the normal format I wish to display only appears on the terminal,
leading me to copy it and paste into a text file. That is, when I enter AB
on the terminal, it returns a format in the form:

008-02-01  -4.183578
2008-03-01  -4.336969
2008-04-01  -3.813306

2008-11-01  -4.260326
2008-12-01  -4.454224

Now, my question: How do I write out two columns displayed by AB on the
terminal to a file?

I have tried using AB<-data.frame(AB) but it doesn't work either.

Many thanks for your time.

Hello,

The main trick is to pipe to as.data.frame. But the result will have one column only, you must assign the dates from the df's row names.
I also include an aggregate solution.



# create a test data set
set.seed(2024)
data <- data.frame(
Date = sample(seq(Sys.Date() - 5, Sys.Date(), by = "1 days"), 100L, TRUE),
  count = sample(10L, 100L, TRUE)
)

# coerce tapply's result to class "data.frame"
res <- with(data, tapply(count, Date, mean)) |> as.data.frame()
# assign a dates column from the row names
res$Date <- row.names(res)
# cosmetics
names(res)[2:1] <- names(data)
# note that the row names are still tapply's names vector
# and that the columns order is not Date/count. Both are fixed
# after the calculations.
res
#>               count       Date
#> 2024-03-22 5.416667 2024-03-22
#> 2024-03-23 5.500000 2024-03-23
#> 2024-03-24 6.000000 2024-03-24
#> 2024-03-25 4.476190 2024-03-25
#> 2024-03-26 6.538462 2024-03-26
#> 2024-03-27 5.200000 2024-03-27

# fix the columns' order
res <- res[2:1]



# better all in one instruction
aggregate(count ~ Date, data, mean)
#>         Date    count
#> 1 2024-03-22 5.416667
#> 2 2024-03-23 5.500000
#> 3 2024-03-24 6.000000
#> 4 2024-03-25 4.476190
#> 5 2024-03-26 6.538462
#> 6 2024-03-27 5.200000



Also,
I'm glad to help as always but Ogbos, you have been an R-Help contributor for quite a while, please post data in dput format. Given the problem the output of the following is more than enough.


dput(head(data, 20L))


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
