Working with R, I was looking for functionality to easily subset my data based on a sequence of numbers. After writing a for loop and using rbind
to do it initially (terrible to do in R!), I finally found a way to do this efficiently. Using a command called %in%
, you can easily apply it as a filter in the subset
command to get data filtered based on your sequence. Enjoy!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | # Generate sample data based to test. sample_data <- data.frame (ID= seq (1,100,1), Score= sample (0:100,100,rep= TRUE )) summary (sample_data) # Plot the scores, see that there is a score for each id. plot (sample_data$Score~sample_data$ID) # Create a filter to apply. look_at <- seq (1,100,10) # Filter the sample data by look_at using the %in% command. subset_data <- subset (sample_data, ID % in % look_at) # Plot the scores, note the filtered data. plot (subset_data$Score~subset_data$ID) |
