A categorical variable V1 in a data frame D1 can have values represented by the letters from A to Z. I want to create a subset D2, which excludes some values, say, B, N and T. Basically, I want a command which is the opposite of %in%
D2 = subset(D1, V1 %in% c('B','N',T'))
Answer
You can use the !
operator to basically make any TRUE FALSE and every FALSE TRUE. so:
D2 = subset(D1, !(V1 %in% c('B','N','T')))
EDIT:
You can also make an operator yourself:
'%!in%' <- function(x,y)!('%in%'(x,y))
c(1,3,11)%!in%1:10
[1] FALSE FALSE TRUE
