通过行名取消选择一组行

Question

我想按行名取消选择一组行

A <- data.frame(c("a","b","c"),c("d","e","f"))
rownames(A) <- c("RA","RB","RC")

但

A[-"RA",]

给出错误

Answer 1

尝试setdiff 。

您的数据（具有更好的列名）：

> A <- data.frame(V1 = c("a","b","c"), V2 = c("d","e","f"))
> rownames(A) <- c("RA","RB","RC")
> A
   V1 V2
RA  a  d
RB  b  e
RC  c  f

您尝试过的结果以及产生的错误：

> A[-"RA",]
Error in -"RA" : invalid argument to unary operator

利用setdiff ：

> A[setdiff(rownames(A), "RA"), ]
   V1 V2
RB  b  e
RC  c  f

Answer 2

data.table提供的语法与您要查找的语法非常接近。 不用行名，而是创建一列（在下面的示例中我将其称为“ info”）并将该列设置为键。 然后，您可以执行以下操作：

library(data.table)
A = data.table(c("a","b","c"), c("d","e","f"), info=c("RA","RB","RC"),
               key = "info")
#   V1 V2 info
#1:  a  d   RA
#2:  b  e   RB
#3:  c  f   RC

A["RA"]
#   info V1 V2
#1:   RA  a  d

A[!"RA"]
#   V1 V2 info
#1:  b  e   RB
#2:  c  f   RC
