选择满足条件的矩阵行

Question

In R with a matrix:

     one two three four
 [1,]   1   6    11   16
 [2,]   2   7    12   17
 [3,]   3   8    11   18
 [4,]   4   9    11   19
 [5,]   5  10    15   20

I want to extract the submatrix whose rows have column three = 11. That is:

      one two three four
 [1,]   1   6    11   16
 [3,]   3   8    11   18
 [4,]   4   9    11   19

I want to do this without looping. I am new to R so this is probably very obvious but the documentation is often somewhat terse.

Answer 1

This is easier to do if you convert your matrix to a data frame using as.data.frame(). In that case the previous answers (using subset or m$three) will work, otherwise they will not.

To perform the operation on a matrix , you can define a column by name:

m[m[, "three"] == 11,]

Or by number:

m[m[,3] == 11,]

Note that if only one row matches, the result is an integer vector, not a matrix.

Answer 2

I will choose a simple approach using the dplyr package.

If the dataframe is data.

library(dplyr)
result <- filter(data, three == 11)

Answer 3

m <- matrix(1:20, ncol = 4) 
colnames(m) <- letters[1:4]

The following command will select the first row of the matrix above.

subset(m, m[,4] == 16)

And this will select the last three.

subset(m, m[,4] > 17)

The result will be a matrix in both cases. If you want to use column names to select columns then you would be best off converting it to a dataframe with

mf <- data.frame(m)

Then you can select with

mf[ mf$a == 16, ]

Or, you could use the subset command.

Answer 4

Subset is a very slow function , and I personally find it useless.

I assume you have a data.frame, array, matrix called Mat with A , B , C as column names; then all you need to do is:

• In the case of one condition on one column, lets say column A

   Mat[which(Mat[,'A'] == 10), ]

In the case of multiple conditions on different column, you can create a dummy variable. Suppose the conditions are A = 10 , B = 5 , and C > 2 , then we have:

    aux = which(Mat[,'A'] == 10)
    aux = aux[which(Mat[aux,'B'] == 5)]
    aux = aux[which(Mat[aux,'C'] > 2)]
    Mat[aux, ]

By testing the speed advantage with system.time , the which method is 10x faster than the subset method.

Answer 5

如果您的矩阵称为m ，只需使用：

R> m[m$three == 11, ]

Answer 6

If the dataset is called data, then all the rows meeting a condition where value of column 'pm2.5' > 300 can be received by -

data[data['pm2.5'] >300,]
