Hi folks,

I'm dealing with a dataset with a lot of NAs, and want to use subset on the
data without removing the NAs from the the dataframe; e.g.

rws50 <- subset(rw.fire.RW,shigo.av<50)

This removes instances with NA for the value in addition to anything <50.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

If you use "[" instead the NA's will come though:

rw.fire.RW[ shigo.av<50, ]

In fact I generally wrap my logicals in which to avoid such (mis?)behavior. but you appear to approve of it.
