Dear Rui,
Nice to hear from you!

I am sorry for the omission and I have taken note.

Many thanks for responding. The second solution looks elegant as it quickly
resolved the problem.

Please, take a second look at the first solution. It refused to run. Looks
as if the pipe is not properly positioned. Efforts to correct it and get it
run failed. If you can look further, it would be great. If time does not
permit, I am fine too.

But having the too solutions will certainly make the subject more
interesting.
Thank you so much.
With warmest regards from
Ogbos

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

Hello,

This pipe?


with(data, tapply(count, Date, mean)) |> as.data.frame()


I am not seeing anything wrong with it. I have tried it again just now and it runs with no problems, like it had before.
A solution is not to pipe, separate the instructions.


res <- with(data, tapply(count, Date, mean))
res <- as.data.frame(res)


But this should be equivalent to the pipe, I cannot think of a way to have this separated instructions run but not the pipe.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
