I have read the R online help and wiki and I cannot seem to get something to work the way I need it to.
I want to create a new data frame from an subset of an existing data frame which has no reference to the original superset. If you following this example, what I am trying to do may make more sense. I have a file with values like this: shirt,size,40 shirt,color,10 shirt,length,10 shirt,brand, 1 shoes,style,5 shoes,brand,4 shoes,color,1 and I read it into a dataframe like: x <- data.frame(read.delim("temp2.txt", sep=",", header=FALSE)) I then want to plot just a subset of this data (say shirts only)... y <- data.frame(subset(x, V1 == "shirt")) plot(x2[,2:3]) when I do, the resulting plot contains an empty value for 'color' even though my subset has no value in column V2 that equals 'color' anymore. Is it possible create a new data.frame that truly deletes the rows from the original data frame that I am excluding with the subset parameter?
