[R] weighted mean by week

[David Freedman]

If there are many variables, I'd then suggest the data.table package:

library(data.table)
dt=data.table(x)
dt[,lapply(.SD, function(x)weighted.mean(x,myweight)), keyby=c('group',
'myweek')]

The '.SD' is an abbreviation for all the variables in the data table
(excluding the grouping variables).  There's an .SDcols= 'variables of
interest' option if you want to limit the dozens of variables to only some
of them.  Or, in the data.table(x) statement, you could limit the created
data table to only the variables your interested in.

As an added benefit, the data.table approach is amazingly fast (particularly
when there are numerous grouping categories)
