Good evening to everybody. I have a data of four columns - three of the
columns represent date while the fourth is counts.  Setting 4000 as my
minimum point/value, I wish to find out the number of counts that are less or equal to 4000 and the dates they occur. I have installed pastecs and have been trying to use turnpoints function to do this. I have not been much lucky. I am a still learning. I have added part of my data here where y
stands for year, m month, d day and lastly the count.
I would be grateful to anyone who could show me the way the do this.
Best regards
Ogbos

Assume your data is stored in a variable called df
Look at what this gives you:

R> less4000 <- df$count < 4000

1. You can sum that vector to tell you how many rows have count less than 4000
2. You can use it to select out of the vector.

R> df[less4000,]

You can also use the subset function

R> subset(df, count < 4000)
