Hi,

when I use use subset in a data.frame, all empty levels are maintained in
the new table.

 > test <-
data.frame(a=as.factor(rep(c("f1","f2","f3"),10)),b=rep(c(1,2,3),10))
> summary(test)
  a            b
 f1:10   Min.   :1
 f2:10   1st Qu.:1
 f3:10   Median :2
         Mean   :2
         3rd Qu.:3
         Max.   :3
> test2 <- subset(test,test$a=="f1")
> summary(test2)
  a            b
 f1:10   Min.   :1
 f2: 0   1st Qu.:1
 f3: 0   Median :1
         Mean   :1
         3rd Qu.:1
         Max.   :1

Look that the f2 and f3 are in the new table, how to remove all empty
levels?

Thanks
Ronaldo
