Hi,
I have the following indexing problem, can you help me please ?
Given: dm = a data.frame or a matrix dm, idx = a 2 columns (or any number) matrix with the same number of rows as dm
I want get a subset of dm, for each row, the columns which specified by idx.
thank you, diana
Diana,
From what I gather it appears as if you want to split dm by all the unique rows of idx? Is that right? If so, you can do the following:
x <- split(dm, do.call("paste", as.data.frame(idx))This will split dm into a list with each element a subset of dm corresponding to a unique row in idx. The length of the x will be the number of unique rows in idx.
If this is not what you want, please provide an example and what you expect to see.
