Hi everyone, I know there have been several requests regarding subsetting before, but none of them really helps with my problem:
I'm trying to subset only infected individuals from the REC2 data.frame: > str(REC2) 'data.frame': 362 obs. of 7 variables: $ RINGNO : Factor w/ 370 levels "BL17546","BL17577",..: 78 81 67 41 58 66 17 $ year : Factor w/ 8 levels "Y2002","Y2003",..: 1 2 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 3 ... $ ccFLEDGE : int 6 6 6 5 6 7 6 7 6 5 ... $ rec2012 : int 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 1 1 0 ... $ binage : Factor w/ 2 levels "ad","juv": 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ INFECTION: Factor w/ 2 levels "Infected ","Uninfected ": 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 ... $ all.rsLD : num -4.62 -6.19 -3.62 -4.19 -2.62 ... using either RECinf<-REC2[which (REC2$INFECTION=="Infected"),] or RECinf<-subset(REC2, INFECTION=="Infected") in both cases I get empty data frame (0 observations): > str(RECinf) 'data.frame': 0 obs. of 7 variables: $ RINGNO : Factor w/ 370 levels "BL17546","BL17577",..: $ year : Factor w/ 8 levels "Y2002","Y2003",..: $ ccFLEDGE : int $ rec2012 : int $ binage : Factor w/ 2 levels "ad","juv": $ INFECTION: Factor w/ 2 levels "Infected ","Uninfected ": $ all.rsLD : num When subsetting, R doesn't return any warning or error message. Besides, I used same codes many times before and they worked perfectly well. Any ideas why this case is different?
