I don't know about such a function, but

tapply(data,cut(data,breaks),what to do)

should give you what you need.

HIH

Re: [R] putting stuff into bins...

2006-09-26 Thread David Barron
This would work.  The point is to make a factor from the breakpoints
using cut, then use this to calculate the statistics on the binned
data.

 x - rnorm(500)
 f - cut(x,10)
 aggregate(x,list(f),mean)
   Group.1  x
1(-2.71,-2.09] -2.3668991
2(-2.09,-1.46] -1.7332011
3   (-1.46,-0.834] -1.1156487
4  (-0.834,-0.208] -0.5117649
5   (-0.208,0.418]  0.1277991
6 (0.418,1.04]  0.7092500
7  (1.04,1.67]  1.2859184
8   (1.67,2.3]  1.9347327

Re: [R] putting stuff into bins...

2006-09-26 Thread Dimitris Rizopoulos
probably a combination of cut() and tapply() could be of help in this 
case, e.g.,

x - rnorm(100)
tapply(x, cut(x, -4:4), mean)


Best,
Dimitris
