\title{Create 2-Way Table of Summary Statistics}
\description{
Splits the data into subsets based on two factors, computes a summary
statistic on each subset, and arranges the results in a 2-way table.
}
\usage{
aggregate.table(x, by1, by2, FUN=mean, ...)
}
%- maybe also `usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
\item{x}{ data to be summarized }
\item{by1}{ first grouping factor. }
\item{by2}{ second grouping factor. }
\item{FUN}{ a scalar function to compute the summary statistics which can
be applied to all data subsets. Defaults to \code{mean}.}
\item{\dots}{ Optional arguments for \code{FUN}. }
}
%\details{
% ~~ If necessary, more details than the __description__ above ~~
%}
\value{
Returns a matrix with one element for each combination of \code{by1}
and \code{by2}.
}

\examples{
# Useful example:
#
# Create a 2-way table of means, standard errors, and # obs
set.seed(314159)
g1 <- sample(letters[1:5], 1000, replace=TRUE)
g2 <- sample(LETTERS[1:3], 1000, replace=TRUE )
dat <- rnorm(1000)
stderr <- function(x) sqrt( var(x,na.rm=TRUE) / nobs(x) )
## Depreciated:
means <- aggregate.table( dat, g1, g2, mean )
## Instead use:
means <- tapply( dat, list(g1, g2), mean )
## Depreciated
stderrs <- aggregate.table( dat, g1, g2, stderr )
## Instead use:
stderrs <- tapply( dat, list(g1, g2), stderr )
## Depreciated
ns <- aggregate.table( dat, g1, g2, nobs )
## Instead use:
ns <- tapply( dat, list(g1, g2), nobs )
blanks <- matrix( " ", nrow=5, ncol=3)

"Std Err"=round(stderrs,2),
