In this case I cannot see an advantage to using dplyr over subset, other than if dplyr is your hammer then the problem will look like a nail, or if this is one step in a larger context where dplyr is more useful.

Nor do I think this is a good use for mapply (or dplyr::group_by) because the groups are handled differently... better to introduce a data-driven columnar approach than to have three separate algorithms and bind the data frames together again.

Here are three ways I came up with. I sometimes use a variation of method 3 when the logical tests are rather more complicated than this and I want to characterize those tests in the final report.

DM <- read.table( text =
"GR x y

# 1 Hardcoded logic
DM1 <- subset( DM
             ,   "A" == GR & 15 <= x & x <= 30
               | "B" == GR & 40 <= x & x <= 50
               | "C" == GR & 60 <= x & x <= 75
             )

# 2 relational approach
cond <- read.table( text =
"GR minx maxx

DM2 <- merge( DM, cond, by = "GR" )
DM2 <- subset( DM2, minx <= x & x <= maxx, select = -c( minx, maxx ) )
DM2

# 3 Construct selection vector
sel <- rep( FALSE, nrow( DM ) )
for ( i in seq.int( nrow( cond ) ) ) {
    sel <- sel | ( cond$GR[ i ] == DM$GR
                 & cond$minx[ i ] <= DM$x
                 & DM$x <= cond$maxx[ i ]

Hi David, Ista and all,

I  have one related question  Within one group I want to keep records
conditionally.
example within
group A I want keep rows that have  " x" values  ranged  between 15 and 30.
group B I want keep rows that have  " x" values  ranged  between  40 and 50.
group C I want keep rows that have  " x" values  ranged  between  60 and 75.


DM <- read.table( text='GR x y
A 25 125
A 23 135
A 14 145
A 35 230
B 45 321
B 47 512
B 53 123
B 55 451
C 61 521
C 68 235
C 85 258
C 80 654',header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)


The end result will be
A 25 125
A 23 135
B 45 321
B 47 512
C 61 521
C 68 235

Thank you

Thank you Ista! Worked fine.

Here's another (possibly more direct in its logic?):

 DM[ !ave(DM$x, DM$GR, FUN= function(x) {!length(unique(x))==1}), ]
  GR  x   y
5  B 25 321
6  B 25 512
7  B 25 123
8  B 25 451

Hi Ashta,

There are many ways to do it. Here is one:

vars <- sapply(split(DM$x, DM$GR), var)
DM[DM$GR %in% names(vars[vars > 0]), ]

Best

Thank you Jeff,

subset( DM, "B" != x ), this works if I know the group only.
But if I don't know that group in this case "B", how do I identify
group(s) that  all elements of x have the same value?

Hi all,
In a data set I have group(GR) and two variables   x and y. I want to
remove a  group that have  the same record for the x variable in each
row.

DM <- read.table( text='GR x y
A 25 125
A 23 135
A 14 145
A 12 230
B 25 321
B 25 512
B 25 123
B 25 451
C 11 521
C 14 235
C 15 258
C 10 654',header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

In this example the output should contain group A and C  as group B
has   the same record  for the variable x .

The result will be
A 25 125
A 23 135
A 14 145
A 12 230
C 11 521
C 14 235
C 15 258
C 10 654

Try:

DM[ !duplicated(DM$x) , ]

How do I do it R?
Thank you.
