Dear list,
I would like to calculate the trimmed mean for some subsets within a
data.frame (data). The list has already been very helpful, and I have
managed calculating the standard mean for the "Intensity" column based
on the "Name" column using
> avgs <-aggregate(data$Intensity, by = list(data$Name), mean)
but I cannot include the argument trim to mean()
> avgs <-aggregate(data$Intensidad, by = list(data$Name), mean
(trim=0.1))
Error in mean.default(trim = 0.1) : argument "x" is missing, with no
default
> avgs <-aggregate(data$Intensity, by = list(data$Name), mean
(data$Intensity, trim=0.1))
Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : argument "INDEX" is missing, with no
default
What is the "INDEX" argument I am missing?
Thanks in advance,
David
