Pivot Tables in R with aggregate
I noted that a previous post about Pivot Tables in R with melt and cast has gained quite some popularity, so I thought to write on the same topic but using this time a different R function: aggregate. While aggregate is not as powerful as melt and cast from the reshape package, it may result sometimes simpler and more intuitive to use, so it is worth to learn how it works.
