Hi, I am new at R and have been looking for a guide on how to do
this with no
avail. I have a data set similar to this:
X Y
1 2
3 3
4 9
2 4
6 3
9 1
1 7
0 2
5 6
3 8
If by dataset you mean a daaframe named (for discussion purposes)
"dfrm", then this will give you the first five row
dfrm[1;5, ]
And this will give you the rest:
dfrm[ -(1:5), ]
and I need it to be split into something like this:
X Y
1 2
3 3
4 9
2 4
6 3
X Y
9 1
1 7
0 2
5 6
3 8
I am thinking I need to write a loop because my data set is much
larger than
this (1000) and I need it all organized into smaller data sets of
5's. Can
someone point me in the write direction?
Oh .... So you want to split into packets of 5 rows each?
try:
split( dfrm, 1:NROW(dfrm) %/% 5 )
