Removing rows with NAs, using na.omit(), doesn't seem to be working for me.
Dataset:
> str ( ex10s )
'data.frame': 2189576 obs. of 5 variables:
$ LOPNR : int 58 58 58 58 64 64 64 64 64 64 ...
$ DIAGNOS: Factor w/ 173 levels "F20","F200","F2000",..: 128 128 128 128 105
105 105 160 105 105 ...
$ X_DATE : int 20060821 20061207 20080102 20090904 20010327 20010925 20020307
20021007 20021007 20030320 ...
$ SOURCE : int 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 ...
$ dg : Factor w/ 7 levels "0","1","2","3",..: 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 6 5 5 ...
The only NAs are in the factor dg (put in by 'recode' from the car library; I'm
trying to eliminate cases with particular factor levels)
> table ( ex10s$dg )
0 1 2 3 4 5 NA
2851 271501 63112 98425 335593 1257299 160795
So, I remove the rows with NAs, to a new dataframe ex10ss:
> ex10ss<-na.omit(ex10s)
Check all the NAs have been removed:
> table(ex10ss$dg)
0 1 2 3 4 5 NA
2851 271501 63112 98425 335593 1257299 160795
> dim(ex10s)
[1] 2189576 5
> dim(ex10ss)
[1] 2189576 5
Nothing seems to have changed. I want all the rows with NA in removed.
I am clearly doing something wrong.
The only alternative I could find is pretty similar:
use <- complete.cases ( ex10 )
ex10ss<-ex10s[use,]
which leads to the same result.
