Tools for splitting, applying and combining data
Description
plyr is 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 pieces 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 BD (Becton Dickinson).
