Hi, Try this: tbl1<- structure(c(21L, 23L, 127L, 112L, 120L, 0L), .Dim = 2:3, .Dimnames = structure(list( labels = c(1, 2), gts = c("A1", "B2", "G3")), .Names = c("labels", "gts")), class = "table") dat1<-as.data.frame(tbl1,stringsAsFactors=FALSE) dat2<-dat1[dat1$gts!="B2" & dat1$Freq!=0,]
library(reshape2) dcast(dat2,labels~gts,value.var="Freq") # labels A1 G3 #1 1 21 120 #2 2 23 NA A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Abhishek Pratap <abhishek....@gmail.com> To: "r-help@r-project.org" <r-help@r-project.org> Cc: Sent: Saturday, April 6, 2013 2:55 AM Subject: [R] manipulating R contingency tables Hi Guys I am back with another thing that's puzzling me. I am creating contingency tables but then I want to filter out certain columns and also find if any entry in the table is 0. Example: gts labels A1 B2 G3 1 21 127 120 2 23 112 0 Here I want to remove B2 column from this table and also if any entry is 0 in this case G3 second row. Missing out on how to do this in an efficient manner as I have to do this millions of times for my data.
