Hi all, Thank you for your help. Now I am able to select every 5th row of the data from the main data set (x) using
sub1<- x[seq(1, nrow(x), by=5), ] So sub1 contains one fith of the data set X. I want also create another data set that will contain the remaining data set from X (ie., four fifth of the data set). Any help is highly appreciated. I have a matrix named x with N by C I want to select every 5 th rrow from matrix x I used the following code > n<- nrow(x) >> for(i in 1: n){ > + b <- a[i+5,] >> b > } >sc < x[seq(1, nrow(x), by=5), ] > > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] > On Behalf Of David Winsemius > Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 4:19 PM > To: Ashta > Cc: R help > Subject: Re: [R] row selection > > > On Oct 8, 2009, at 4:14 PM, Ashta wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I have a matrix named x with N by C > > I want to select every 5 th rrow from matrix x I used the following > > code > > n<- nrow(x) > >> for(i in 1: n){ > > + b <- a[i+5,] > >> b > > } > > Error: subscript out of bounds > > What did you expect when "i" in your loop counter became one greater > than the number of rows? > > > > > > David Winsemius, MD > Heritage Laboratories > West Hartford, CT > > ______________________________________________ > 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. > > > =================================== > > P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail > > Cleveland Clinic is ranked one of the top hospitals > in America by U.S. News & World Report (2008). > Visit us online at http://www.clevelandclinic.org for > a complete listing of our services, staff and > locations. > > > Confidentiality Note: This message is intended for use\...{{dropped:13}} > > ______________________________________________ > 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. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
