How to delete a row in R
I can't figure out how to simply remove row (n) from a dataframe in R. R's documentation and intro manual are so horribly written, they are virtually zero help on this very simple problem. Also, every explanation i've found here/ on google is for removing rows that contain strings, or duplicates, etc, which have been excessively advanced for my problem and lead me to introduce more bugs and get nowhere. I just want to remove a row.
Thanks in advance for your help.
fyi the list is in the variable eld, which has 5 columns and 33 rows. I would like to remove row 14. I initialized eld with the following command
eld <- read.table("election2012.txt")
so my desired result is
eldNew <- eld(minus row 14)
eldNew <- eld[-14,]
See ?"[" for a start ...
For ‘[’-indexing only: ‘i’, ‘j’, ‘...’ can be logical vectors, indicating elements/slices to select. Such vectors are recycled if necessary to match the corresponding extent. ‘i’, ‘j’, ‘...’ can also be negative integers, indicating elements/slices to leave out of the selection.
