Hi all, I am struggling to work out how to use the rownames from an edited dataframe rather than the row names from the original dataframe. In my data set i'm trying to extract several rows of data on particular individuals, i don't doubt i'm using the long way round but what i have in the way of a script is this:
##selecting the IDs from the dataframe individually A1<-mumpup[ID=="A1",] B1<-mumpup[ID=="B1",] B2<-mumpup[ID=="B2",] B3<-mumpup[ID=="B3",] B4<-mumpup[ID=="B4",] B6<-mumpup[ID=="B6",] B7<-mumpup[ID=="B7",] B8<-mumpup[ID=="B8",] B9<-mumpup[ID=="B9",] B13<-mumpup[ID=="B13",] C1<-mumpup[ID=="C1",] G1<-mumpup[ID=="G1",] data<-rbind(A1,B1,B2,B3,B4,B6,B7,B8,B9,B13,C1,G1) It works fine to a certain extent, the only problem being that i get are all the IDs in the original dataframe so if i use summary(data$ID) I get: A1 B1 B10 B13 B2 B3 B4 B6 B7 B8 B9 C1 G1 G3 H2 H9 J1 J2 J3 K1 354 354 0 354 354 354 354 354 354 354 354 246 210 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 So it does take the data out of the dataframe but it keeps the IDs for some reason. I have looked at the edit.data.frame help and i understand why it is happening, it is taking the rownames from the original dataframe and not the edit and it seems i should use edit.row.names=T in my script, but i can't get that to work. Does anyone have any suggestions at all? Any help is much appreciated, Best wishes, Ross -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/edit.row.names-taking-row-names-from-the-edited-dataframe-tp24744741p24744741.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
