Hi!

Sorry for asking a trivial questions, but I can't seem to figure this out.

I have a dataframe called master containing 30-odd variables.

In this dataframe, I have observations across these 30 variables from 1930 to 2003 (I've made a "year" variable). How can I drop all rows for which the year is less than 1960? I'm assuming something with ifelse() but I can't quite figure it out.

I would appreciate a suggestion of some syntax.

In R this is called subsetting and the simplest way to do this is with the subset function.


older <- subset(master, year < 1960)

See ?subset for more variations on this theme.
