There are three operators that can be used to extract subsets of R objects.

1 Subsetting a Vector

Watch a video of this section

Vectors are basic objects in R and they can be subsetted using the [ operator.


x <- c("a", "b", "c", "c", "d", "a")  

x[1]    ## Extract the first element
## [1] "a"
x[2]    ## Extract the second element
## [1] "b"

The [ operator can be used to extract multiple elements of a vector by passing the operator an integer sequence. Here we extract the first four elements of the vector.


x[1:4]
## [1] "a" "b" "c" "c"

The sequence does not have to be in order; you can specify any arbitrary integer vector.


x[c(1, 3, 4)]
## [1] "a" "c" "c"

We can also pass a logical sequence to the [ operator to extract elements of a vector that satisfy a given condition. For example, here we want the elements of x that come lexicographically after the letter “a”.


x
## [1] "a" "b" "c" "c" "d" "a"
u <- x > "a"
u
## [1] FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE
x[u]
## [1] "b" "c" "c" "d"
"A" > "a" # a=1 < A=27
## [1] TRUE
"z" > "A"
## [1] TRUE
"ab" > "aa" # Alphanumeric comparison, if first letter are same value move on to the next value
## [1] TRUE

Another, more compact, way to do this would be to skip the creation of a logical vector and just subset the vector directly with the logical expression.


x[x > "a"]
## [1] "b" "c" "c" "d"

2 Subsetting a Matrix

Matrices can be subsetted in the usual way with (i,j)type indices. Here, we create simple 2 x 3 matrix with the matrix function.


x <- matrix(data = 1:6, nrow = 2) #row-wise distribution
x
##      [,1] [,2] [,3]
## [1,]    1    3    5
## [2,]    2    4    6

We can access the (1,2) or the (2,1) element of this matrix using the appropriate indices.


x[1,2]
## [1] 3
x[2,1]
## [1] 2

Indices can also be missing. This behavior is used to access entire rows or columns of a matrix.


x
##      [,1] [,2] [,3]
## [1,]    1    3    5
## [2,]    2    4    6
x[1, ]  ## Extract the first row
## [1] 1 3 5
x[, 2]  ## Extract the second column
## [1] 3 4

2.1 Dropping matrix dimensions


x <- matrix(1:6, ncol = 3)
print(x)
##      [,1] [,2] [,3]
## [1,]    1    3    5
## [2,]    2    4    6
x[1, c(1,3)]
## [1] 1 5
x[1, c(1,3), drop = FALSE]
##      [,1] [,2]
## [1,]    1    5
y <- matrix(1:12, nrow=4)
y
##      [,1] [,2] [,3]
## [1,]    1    5    9
## [2,]    2    6   10
## [3,]    3    7   11
## [4,]    4    8   12
z <- y[2, 2:3, drop = FALSE]
z
##      [,1] [,2]
## [1,]    6   10

4 Subsetting Lists

Watch a video of this section


x <- list(foo = 1:4, bar = 0.6)
x
## $foo
## [1] 1 2 3 4
## 
## $bar
## [1] 0.6

The [[ operator can be used to extract single elements from a list. Here we extract the first element of the list.


x[[1]]
## [1] 1 2 3 4

Notice you don’t need the quotes when you use the $ operator.

One thing that differentiates the [[ operator from the $ is that the [[ operator can be used with computed indices. The $ operator can only be used with literal names.


x <- list(foo = 1:4, bar = 0.6, baz = "hello")
x
## $foo
## [1] 1 2 3 4
## 
## $bar
## [1] 0.6
## 
## $baz
## [1] "hello"
x$foo
## [1] 1 2 3 4
x[["foo"]]
## [1] 1 2 3 4

5 Subsetting Nested Elements of a List

The [[ operator can take an integer sequence if you want to extract a nested element of a list.

x <- list(a = list(10, 12, 14), b = c(3.14, 2.81))


## Get the 3rd element of the 1st element
x[[c(1, 3)]]  
## [1] 14
## Same as above
x[[1]][[3]]   
## [1] 14
# 1st element of the 2nd element
x[[c(2, 1)]]  
## [1] 3.14
x[[2]][1] 
## [1] 3.14

6 Extracting Multiple Elements of a List

The [ operator can be used to extract multiple elements from a list. For example, if you wanted to extract the first and third elements of a list, you would do the following


x <- list(foo = 1:4, bar = 0.6, baz = "hello")
x[c(1, 3)]
## $foo
## [1] 1 2 3 4
## 
## $baz
## [1] "hello"

Note that x[c(1, 3)] is NOT the same as x[[c(1, 3)]].


# x <- list(foo = 1:4, bar = 0.6, baz = "hello")
x[[c(1, 3)]]
## [1] 3

Remember that the [ operator always returns an object of the same class as the original. Since the original object was a list, the [ operator returns a list. In the above code, we returned a list with two elements (the first and the third).

7 Partial Matching

Watch a video of this section

Partial matching of names is allowed with [[ and $. This is often very useful during interactive work if the object you’re working with has very long element names. You can just abbreviate those names and R will figure out what element you’re referring to.


x <- list(aardvark = 1:5)
x
## $aardvark
## [1] 1 2 3 4 5
x$a
## [1] 1 2 3 4 5
x[["a"]]
## NULL
x[["a", exact = TRUE]]
## NULL
x[["aar", exact = FALSE]]
## [1] 1 2 3 4 5

In general, this is fine for interactive work, but you shouldn’t resort to partial matching if you are writing longer scripts, functions, or programs. In those cases, you should refer to the full element name if possible. That way there’s no ambiguity in your code.

8 Removing NA Values

Watch a video of this section

A common task in data analysis is removing missing values (NAs).


x <- c(1, 2, NA, 4, NA, 5)
x
## [1]  1  2 NA  4 NA  5
bad <- is.na(x)
print(bad)
## [1] FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE FALSE
x[!bad]
## [1] 1 2 4 5
x[!is.na(x)]
## [1] 1 2 4 5

What if there are multiple R objects and you want to take the subset with no missing values in any of those objects?


x <- c(1, 2, NA, 4, NA, 5)
y <- c("a", "b", NA, "d", NA, "f")
good <- complete.cases(x, y)
good
## [1]  TRUE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE
x[good]
## [1] 1 2 4 5
y[good]
## [1] "a" "b" "d" "f"
x[complete.cases(x)]
## [1] 1 2 4 5

You can use complete.cases on data frames too.
