Introduction

If you have ever been working with datasets in R, chances are that you’ve had to remove a row or two here and there. Maybe it was because the data was wrong, or maybe it was just because you didn’t need it anymore. Whatever the reason, removing rows from your data can be a pain if you don’t know how to do it.

Luckily, there are a few different ways that you can remove rows from your data in R. In this article, we’ll show you how to remove rows from your data frame using the filter() function, the -operator, and the drop() function.

Step-by-step guide

This guide will show you how to remove a row from a dataframe in R using the negative index. We’ll also show you how to remove multiple rows from a dataframe.

Deleting a row from a data frame

There are two ways of deleting a row from a data frame in R. The first is to use the row.names argument to specify which row to delete, and the second is to use the subset argument.

To delete a row using the row.names argument, you need to set the row.names argument to NULL. For example, if you wanted to delete the first row of the mtcars data frame, you would do:

mtcars[1, ] <- NULL

To delete a row using the subset argument, you need to set the subset argument to a vector of TRUE and FALSE values, where TRUE corresponds to the rows you want to keep and FALSE corresponds to the rows you want to delete. For example, if you wanted to delete all of the rows that have a value of 4 in the mpg column, you would do:

mtcars[mtcars$mpg != 4, ]

Deleting a row from a matrix

When you want to delete a row from a matrix, you need to use the row () function. The basic syntax for this function is:

row (matrix_name, row_number)

So, if we wanted to delete the 5th row from the example Matrix A above, we would use the following code:

A <- matrix (c (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), nrow = 2) A [5] <- NULL

Summary

This page provides details on how to remove a row from a data frame in R.

If you need to remove a row from a data frame, there are two methods you can use. The first is to use the row.names() function to identify the row you want to remove, and the second is to use the subset() function.

To remove a row from a data frame using the row.names() function, you need to specify the name of the row you want to remove in the argument. For example, if you want to remove the first row from a data frame, you would use this code:

row.names(my_data)[1] <- NULL

To remove a row from a data frame using the subset() function, you need to specify the name of the column you want to keep in the argument, and then use the – operator to specify the rows you want to remove. For example, if you want to remove all rows except for the first one, you would use this code:

subset(my_data, column1 != 1)
