Dear R gurus..
I had tried out some suggestions sent to me privately..and unfortunately,
they did not work..
To use a condiition in a subset, the associated dataframe needs to be
attached and detached, which I found cumbersome to use if using more than 1
dataframe (with different dimensions) with same condition. I would highly
appreciate your suggestions to overcome this problem.. Please see my example
of usage I am trying to implement. Please note that the "cond' takes in the
character instead of logical values...
cond1 <- 'group==1&sales>200'
cond2 <- 'group==2&sales>200'
cond3 <- 'group==3&sales>200'
d1 <- subset(dat,subset=cond1)
plot(y~x,data=dat,subset=cond1,type='b')
lines(y~x,data=dat,subset=cond2)
points(y~x,data=dat,subset=paste(cond1,cond2,sep='&'),col='blue')
points(y~x,data=d1,subset=cond3,col='red')
If I try the above, I get the following error message:
*Error in subset.data.frame(dat, cond) : 'subset' must evaluate to logical*
If you could also suggest references implementing similar code, I would
highly appreciate it.
Thanks so much,
Santosh
