[R] Understanding namespace for plyr / dplyr

I think I have a hole in my understanding of how R uses packages (or at least how it gives functions in packages priority). I thought I would give the new dplyr package a test drive this morning (which is blazingly fast BTW) and I've gone down the rabbit hole. The issue is that I'm unable to use

In short, use dplyr::summarize or plyr::summarize to select the one you want. HTH, Peter On Wed, Jan 29, 2014 at 2:19 PM, Trevor Davies davies.tre...@gmail.com wrote: I think I have a hole in my understanding of how R uses packages (or at least how it gives functions in packages priority). I

Re: [R] Understanding namespace for plyr / dplyr

Hi Hadley, Thanks for getting back to me - the dplyr package seems really great. The issue I have is that the groupings no longer works when I'm using the plyr::summarise function Here is my code, I think it's pretty obvious what I'm trying to do: data_df - tbl_df(full.data) group_year -
