I've scoured the archives but have found no concrete answer to my question.
Problem: Two data sets 1st data set(x) = 20,000 rows 2nd data set(y) = 5,000 rows Both have the same column names, the column of interest to me is a variable called strain. For example, a strain named "Chab1405" appears in x 150 times and in y 25 times... strain "Chab1999" only appears 200 times in x and none in y (so i dont want that retained). I want to create a new data frame that has all 175 measurements for "Chab1405" and any other 'strain' that appears in both the two data sets.. but not strains that appear in only one data set...So i want the intersection of two data sets (maybe?). I've tried x %in% y, but that only gives TRUE/FALSE -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Combining-Overlapping-Data-tp4032719p4032719.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
