have a look at ?"[.data.frame"; what you need is the following:

dat <- data.frame(a = rbinom(20, 1, 0.5), x = rnorm(20), y = rnorm(20))

dat
dat[dat$a == 1, ]


I hope it helps.

Best,

Hi all,

i have a pretty easy indexing question, at least i believe so. The main reason i post it here, is that brackets and $ are hard to google.

How do I index correctly, if i just want to display the whole dataset conditioned on the fact that some particular column equals one.

I know i can do something like: data$somecolumn[data$particularcol ==1] . That will show all "some column" values where the particular column is 1. Unfortunately something like : data[data$particularcol ==1] does not work to get the whole matrix.

is there some easy way except the % in % stuff ?

Thx in advance
