- expr
an expression that is evaluated for any unique combination of values of the variables contained in

a data frame, an object that can be coerced into a data frame (for example, a table), or an environment, from which values for the variables in
formulaorexprare taken.

A list of class "by", giving the results for each combination of values
of variables in formula.
Examples
# NOT RUN {
berkeley <- Aggregate(Table(Admit,Freq)~.,data=UCBAdmissions)
(Bres <- By(~Dept,glm(cbind(Admitted,Rejected)~Gender,family="binomial"),data=berkeley))
# The results all have 'data' components
str(Bres[[1]]$data)
attach(berkeley)
(Bres <- By(~Dept,glm(cbind(Admitted,Rejected)~Gender,family="binomial")))
detach(berkeley)
