Tools for Splitting, Applying and Combining Data
Description
A set of tools that solves a common set of problems: you
need to break a big problem down into manageable pieces, operate on each
piece and then put all the pieces back together. For example, you might
want to fit a model to each spatial location or time point in your study,
summarise data by panels or collapse high-dimensional arrays to simpler
summary statistics. The development of 'plyr' has been generously supported
by 'Becton Dickinson'.
