HI, Without an example dataset, it is a bit difficult to test.
Just a comment about your code: " TableAP <- cbind(zoo(TableAP), Lagpolity4AP1, Lagpolity4AP2, Lagpolity4AP3, Lagpolity4AP4, Lagpolity4AP5, LaglrgdpchAP1, LaglrgdpchAP2, LaglrgdpchAP3, LaglrgdpchAP4, LaglrgdpchAP5) TableAP <- data.frame(TableAP) " Instead of data.frame(cbind(TableAP)), you could have used data.frame() alone. May be this example helps you. dat1<-data.frame(col1=sample(1:30,10,replace=TRUE),year=c(1961:1970)) dat2<-zoo(dat1) #Now see the difference in dat4 and dat5 dat4<-data.frame(cbind(dat2,col2=rnorm(10,15)) ) str(dat4) #'data.frame': 10 obs. of 3 variables: # $ col1: num 27 5 13 19 5 11 4 29 14 21 # $ year: num 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 ... # $ col2: num 15.2 13.6 16.9 15.8 15.5 ... dat5<-data.frame(dat2,col2=rnorm(10,15)) # str(dat5) #'data.frame': 10 obs. of 3 variables: # $ col1: int 27 5 13 19 5 11 4 29 14 21 # $ year: int 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 # $ col2: num 14.9 14 16 14.2 16.2 ... #your code: subset(dat5,year=>1962) #Error: unexpected '>' in "subset(dat5,year=>" subset(dat5,year>=1962) # col1 year col2 #2 5 1962 14.00960 #3 13 1963 15.96100 #4 19 1964 14.16140 #5 5 1965 16.20417 #6 11 1966 15.35976 #7 4 1967 14.90305 #8 29 1968 16.43865 #9 14 1969 15.88728 #10 21 1970 17.17676 dat5[which(dat5$year>1963),] # col1 year col2 #4 19 1964 14.16140 #5 5 1965 16.20417 #6 11 1966 15.35976 #7 4 1967 14.90305 #8 29 1968 16.43865 #9 14 1969 15.88728 #10 21 1970 17.17676 A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: fuckecon <iamsta...@gmail.com> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 11:19 PM Subject: [R] Subsetting year range Hi, I have a panel data set that I am trying to subset. I am trying to keep values for years >=1960. The full set is from 1940 to 2000. I tried a few things, but none worked. Here are a couple that I am trying to use. TableAPS1 <- subset(TableAP, year => 1959) TableAPS1 <- TableAP[ which(year > 1959),] It would be really nice if someone can point out what I am doing wrong with this part, or somewhere else that I am coding wrong.
