Did not completely understand what is a 'group index', but to remove any element from a list or a matrix, or a vector or a data frame you could use the negative index.
For example, > df.s[-c(1:3)] $`3` g x 1 3 3.916503 12 3 1.435718 24 3 2.252151 > df.s[-c(1:3)][[1]][-1] x 1 3.916503 12 1.435718 24 2.252151 You can also assign the results to a variable (the same or the other one) > df.s<-df.s[-c(1:3)][[1]][-1] > df.s x 1 3.916503 12 1.435718 24 2.252151 Rick DeShon wrote: > > In the following example, how can I drop the group index from the list > after > I perform a split? > n <- 3 > nn <- 10 > g <- factor(round(n * runif(n * nn))) > x <- rnorm(n * nn) + sqrt(as.numeric(g)) > df <- data.frame(g,x) > df.s <- split(df,g) > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-remove-index-from-list-after-split--tf4441712.html#a12673118 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
