%- Also NEED an '\alias' for EACH other topic documented here.
\title{ Combines the results of appplying an index to each group of
observations }
\description{
Applies the function \code{gfun}  to each group of x and y values
and combines the results using the function \code{cfun}

}
\usage{
partition.crit(x, y, groups, gfun = gave, cfun = sum, ...)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
\item{x}{is a numeric vector. }
\item{y}{is a numeric vector. }
\item{groups}{ is a vector of group memberships. }
\item{gfun}{ is applied to the \code{x}  and \code{y} data in each group. }
\item{cfun}{ combines the values returned by \code{gfun}. }
\item{\dots}{ arguements are passed to  \code{gfun}. }
}
\details{
The function \code{gfun} is applied to each group of \code{x}  and \code{y}
values. The function \code{cfun} is applied to the vector or matrix of
\code{gfun} results.
}
\value{
The result of applying \code{cfun}.

\examples{
x <- runif(20)

# in pink have the highest amount of group homogeneity, as measured by
# gave.

# Result is the same, in this case.
