The (frequent) error comes from tests where a X was created in the

Yep! Happens to me all the time! :-)
Thanks very much.

Yes, I kind of thought that, and cobbled together something on that
basis that seemed to work. However my code was rather a hodge-podge. I
kept having to work around errors that I didn't understand.
You seem to have a much clearer understanding of what's going on, and
your code is much cleaner than what I came up with.
`[.myclass` <- function(x, i, j, drop = if (missing(i)) TRUE else
length(cols) == 1){
SaveAt <- lapply(X, attributes)
X <- NextMethod()
lX <- lapply(names(X),function(nm, x, Sat){
attributes(x[[nm]]) <- Sat[[nm]]
x[[nm]]}, x = X, Sat = SaveAt)
names(lX) <- names(X)
X <- as.data.frame(lX)
X
}
But in the foregoing there seems to me to be some inconsistency in the
use of "X" and "x".
Should not the first function argument be "X" rather than "x"? Or
perhaps the "X" symbols in the code should be replaced by "x"? As in:
SaveAt <- lapply(x, attributes)
x <- NextMethod()
Or am I misunderstanding what's going on (as is so often
the case! :-( )?
X <- data.frame(a = letters[1:5], x = 1:5)
class(X) <- c("myclass", class(X))
attr(X$a, "attr_a1") <- "first_a"
attr(X$a, "attr_a2") <- "second_a"
str(X)
ok <- c(1, 3, 4)
X <- X[ok, ]
str(X)
Hope this helps,
Quite a lot! But I'd appreciate clarification w.r.t. the misgiving that
I expressed above.
Thanks.

Rolf

Yes. That idea does indeed look promising. I'll check it out.

[R] Retaining attributes of columns of a data frame when subsetting.
I am writing a function that involves a data frame "X" some columns of
which have attributes. I replace X by a data frame with a subset of the
rows of X:
X <- X[ok,]
where "ok" is a logical vector. When I do this the attributes of the
columns (which I need to retain) are lost (except for the "class" and
"levels" attributes of columns which are factors).
Is there any sexy way to retain the attributes of the columns?
So far the only approach that I can work out is to extract the
attributes prior to subsetting and put them back after subsetting.
Like unto:
SaveAt <- lapply(X,attributes)
X <- X[ok,]
lX <- lapply(names(X),function(nm,x,Sat){
attributes(x[[nm]]) <- Sat[[nm]]
x[[nm]]},x=X,Sat=SaveAt)
names(lX) <- names(X)
X <- as.data.frame(lX)
This seems to work, but is rather kludgy. Is there a better way?
Thanks for any pointers.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
