Sorry If I miss the point you want to achieve, but why not just:
which(red > 0.5) or red[which(red > 0.5)] if you want to use this col/row wise you could do: apply(red, 1, function(x)x[x>0.5]) and apply(red, 1, function(x)x[x>0.5]) ? --- netzwerkerin <lehma...@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> schrieb am Di, 6.9.2011: > Von: netzwerkerin <lehma...@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de> > Betreff: [R] subsetting tables > An: r-help@r-project.org > Datum: Dienstag, 6.
