Hi Jim,
I tried the code which u provided.
In place of "dos" in command "pat1 <- rbinom(length(dos), 1, .5) # generate
some data"
I added "patientinformation1" variable and then I gave the command for
"tapply" but its giving me the following error:
*Error in tapply(pat1, format(dos, "%Y%m"), function(x) sum(x == 0)) :
arguments must have same length*
Thanks,
Shreyasee
