- From the mention of Minitab that I saw in the recent discussion of
- stat packages, I'm led to believe that someone out there can help me with
- what seems like a routine data manipulation problem. Given a column of
- data, how would one create a new column where the first element is the
- average of row1-row3, the second element is the average of row4-row6,
- etc. The only thing I could think of would be to create a column of
- indices 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 .... , and then use ANOVA to get predicted
- values. This seems pretty round about and I don't even know how I
- would generate the indices in the first place. Anybody know the
- simple answer to this problem? Thanks in advance.
