I'd be glad to help, but I don't think I understand the problem. Here's what I
get:
> x <-
> as.data.frame(matrix(ncol=3,seq(1,12),dimnames=list(c(),c("hh","total","total.inf"))))
> x
hh total total.inf
1 1 5 9
2 2 6 10
3 3 7 11
4 4 8 12
> summaryBy(total+total.inf~hh,x,FUN=sum)
hh total.sum total.inf.sum
1 1 5 9
2 2 6 10
3 3 7 11
4 4 8 12
Looks as expected to me.
Regards
Søren Højsgaard

Emne: Re: [R] Column naming mystery
Sorry that the problem description was not sufficient.
Here is a self-contained code replicating the problem:
require(doBy)
x <-
as.data.frame(matrix(ncol=3,seq(1,12),dimnames=list(c(),c("hh","total","total.inf"))))
summaryBy(total+total.inf~hh,x,FUN=sum)
What surprises me are the zeros in the resulting total.sum column. The problem
remains if total.inf is renamed to totalinf or total_inf but not if renamed to
ttotal.inf .
Can anyone explain to me what the rules for naming columns are so that I can
avoid such mistakes in the future?
Thanks a lot!
