Hi! I'm doing: etni <- subset(etni, NAMECOM!="Maniquisito")
where etni is a data.frame, NAMECOM a factor and "Maniquisito" labels a row that I want to delete. The problem is that while the row is deleted, the factor level is still there (I can see "Maniquisito" if I do levels(etni$NAMECOM) ). I know I can get the appropriate levels by: levels(factor(etni$NAMECOM)) so I could etni$NAMECOM <- factor(etni$NAMECOM) but there are other columns in etni that are factors as well. Do I have to take care of each factor column? Should not subset take care of recalculating the factor levels automatically? Thanks!
