[R] How to simplify

[Petr Pikal]

Hi

changing list to matrix and making summary could do the trick

lll <- list(a=cbind(1:10, rnorm(10)), b=cbind(1:10, rnorm(10)))
mat <- do.call("rbind", lll)
tapply(mat[,2], mat[,1],  mean)

BTW I found a suitable thread with similar question in CRAN search

list summary mean
