Hi, the R code:
a <- matrix(c(1,5,4,3,7,10,34,4,3,8,6,5,12,17,45,3,2,45,46,47,3,4,22,12,21), nrow=5) rownames(a) <- c("a","b","c","d","e") a a[which(a[,3] < 8), ] a[which(a[,3] < 6), ] produces the following output: > a [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] a 1 10 6 3 3 b 5 34 5 2 4 c 4 4 12 45 22 d 3 3 17 46 12 e 7 8 45 47 21 > a[which(a[,3] < 8), ] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] a 1 10 6 3 3 b 5 34 5 2 4 > a[which(a[,3] < 6), ] [1] 5 34 5 2 4 I actually thought it must be rather easy to somehow extract the row name when the result is just a vector as in the second example and not a matrix. I tried several ways but without any success. Any advice?
