[R] Urgent Help needed

[AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa]

Thanks all.

it works.

Just one more thing: if you look to this out put,

> by(data1[,2:3], data1[,4], cor)[1]
$`1`
            X                            Y
X   1.0000000            0.4400451
Y   0.4400451  1.0000000

Q. How I can just pick the value of the correlation 0.4400451 from this output and call it sat corxy.


Once again thank you all so much for your helps.


Abou

For the 2nd item, perhaps:

by(df[,1:2], df$index, FUN=cor)

where df is your data.frame.
