Dear list members,
I have a question regarding too subsetting a data set in R.
I created an object for my data:
>pa = read.csv("espec_indic.csv", header = T, sep=",", check.names = F)
> levels(pa$influencia)
[1] "AID" "AII" "AP"
The object has 3 levels for influencia (AP, AID, AII)
Now I subset only observations with influencia = "AID"
>pa2 = subset(pa, influencia=="AID")
but if I ask for the levels of influencia still show me the 3 levels,
AP, AID, AII.
> levels(pa2$influencia)
[1] "AID" "AII" "AP"
Why is that?
I was thinking that I was creating a new data frame with only AID as a
level for influencia.
How can I make a complete new object with only the observations for
"AID" and that the only level for influencia is indeed "AID"?
Best,
Manuel
