Hmm, doesn't work for me. ?factor does not list a 'drop='
argument.
I suspect
iris1$Species <- [iris1$Species, drop=TRUE]
was meant. See ?`[.factor` .

I'm confused, hope someone can point out what is not obvious to me.
I thought I was creating a new data frame by 'deleting' rows from an
existing dataframe - I've tried 2 methods.
But this new data frame seems to remember values from its parent -
even
though there are no occurences.
Where does it get the values versicolor and virginica from and give
then a
count of 0?
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
summary(iris$Species)
setosa versicolor virginica
50 50 50
nrow(iris)
[1] 150
iris1<- iris[iris$Species == 'setosa',]
nrow(iris1)
[1] 50
summary(iris1$Species)
setosa versicolor virginica
50 0 0
boxplot(Petal.Width ~ Species, data = iris1, plot=1)
iris2<- subset(iris, Species == 'setosa')
nrow(iris2)
[1] 50
summary(iris2$Species)
setosa versicolor virginica
50 0 0
boxplot(Petal.Width ~ Species, data = iris2, plot=1)
