To increase it's applicability, the functions work with connections to databases as well as ames. It is also very fast, even with large collections.

The package dplyr provides a well structured set of functions for manipulating such data collections and performing typical operations with standard syntax that makes them easier to remember. Working with large and complex sets of data is a day-to-day reality in applied statistics. I am sure I am overlooking something obvious but I would greatly appreciate any assistance.Using dplyr to group, manipulate and summarize data The expected results are the count, mean, and sd for each group. Each group is showing the overall mean and sd for the whole column rather than each group.

The count appears to work showing a count of 5 for each group.
#DPLYR SUMMARIZE ALL COLUMNS CODE#
Here is the code that I used to create the data set and the dplyr group_by / summarize. Also, I tried restarting R and I made sure that I am not using plyr. I have also read through all of the recommended posts that Stack Overflow offered prior to posting. All results seem to offer a similar syntax to the one I am using. To try to resolve the issue, I have conducted multiple internet searches. The count works but rather than provide the mean and sd for each group, I receive the overall mean and sd next to each group. I am trying to use dplyr to group_by var2 (A, B, and C) then count, and summarize the var1 by mean and sd. The var2 column is comprised of factors with 3 levels - A, B, and C. The var1 column is comprised of num values. I have a small data set comprised of 2 columns - var1 and var2. I am fairly new to R and even newer to dplyr.
