I think that title makes sense... I hope it does...
I have a data frame, one of the columns of which is a factor. I want
the rows of data that correspond to the level in that factor which
occurs the most times.
I can get a list by doing:
by(data,data$pattern,subset)
And go through each element of the list counting the rows, to find the maximum....
BUT I can't help thinking there's a more elegant way of doing this....
The second part is figuring out the rows which have the maximum number of consecutive patterns which are the same... Now that I would love some help with... :-)
Thanks Mick
