I am sorry perhaps  was not able to put the question properly. I am not 
looking for the subset of the data.frame where the basel_asset_class is > 2. I 
do agree that would have been a basic requirement. Let me try to put the 
question again. 

I have a data frame as 

mydat = data.frame(basel_asset_class = c(4, 8, 8 ,8), defa_frequency = c(0.15, 
0.07, 0.03, 0.001))

# Please note I have changed the basel_asset_class to 4 from 2, to avoid 
confusion.

> mydat
  basel_asset_class defa_frequency
1                 4          0.150
2                 8          0.070
3                 8          0.030
4                 8          0.001



This is just an representative example. In reality, I may have no of basel 
asset classes. 4, 8 etc are the IDs can be anything thus I cant hard code it as 
subset(mydat, mydat$basel_asset_class > 2).


What I need is to select only those records for which there are more than two 
default frequencies (defa_frequency), Thus, there is only one default frequency 
= 0.150 w.r.t basel_asset_class = 4 whereas there are default frequencies 
w.r.t. basel aseet class 4, similarly there could be another basel asset class 
having say 5 default frequncies. Thus, I need to take subset of the data.frame 
s.t. the no of corresponding defa_frequencies is greater than 2.

The idea is we try to fit exponential curve Y = A exp( BX ) for each of the 
basel asset classes and to estimate values of A and B, mathematically one needs 
to have at least two values of X.

I hope I may be able to express my requirement. Its not that I need the subset 
of mydat s.t. basel asset class is > 2 (now 4 in revised example), but sbuset 
s.t. no of default frequencies is greater than or equal to 2. This 2 is not 
same as basel asset class 2.

Kindly guide

With warm regards

This is a very basic question, so the kindest guide I can give is to read an 
Introduction to R (ships with R) or a R web tutorial of your choice so that you 
can learn how R works instead of posting to this list.

Cheers,
