Could someone give me a hand with the format of the gsummary function?
Basically, I have a large set of xyz coordinates generated by LiDAR data (>37
million points) and I am trying to derive various summary statistics on the
z-coordinates by a grid cell. I wrote a function to do this by creating
factors from the x- and y- coordinates and then using gsummary. However, I
want the function to calculate BOTH the max z-value in a grid cell and the
number of z-values in that cell. gsummary is supposed to be able to use a list
a functions as input to FUN, but I am having trouble coding it correctly. Here
is what I came up to so far.
gr<-gsummary(xyz.packet,FUN=list(numeric=max,numeric=length),omitGroupingFactor=T,form=~X/Y)
The help for the function gives no examples using multiple functions as a FUN
value, so the help pages haven't been overly useful in this case.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
