HI,
Your question is not very clear to me.
dat1<-data.frame(x=c(1,1,2,2,2,3,4,4),y=c(23,45,87,46,78,12,87,79))
If I select randomly 80% of data:
dat1[sample(nrow(dat1),0.8*nrow(dat1)),]
# x y
#4 2 46
#6 3 12
#7 4 87
#3 2 87
#2 1 45
#8 4 79
In this case, it is a mix of all the records that was in the original data. So, if I understand correctly, then you want to get the original data, instead of the 80% data (as you want all the records). But, suppose if the sample is:
set.seed(244)
dat2<-dat1[sample(nrow(dat1),0.8*nrow(dat1)),]
dat2
# x y
#2 1 45
#7 4 87
#8 4 79
#1 1 23
#5 2 78
#4 2 46
You wanted to eliminate the records 3 from the original dataset. Is that what you meant?
If that is the case:
dat1[dat1$x%in%dat2$x,]
# x y
#1 1 23
#2 1 45
#3 2 87
#4 2 46
#5 2 78
#7 4 87
#8 4 79
A.K.

Hi,
This is Madhu and I have a following doubt please give a solution...
**>i have the following data frame
from this i want to select a 80% of data randomly in such a way that
if the selected records are 1 and then we have to get the all records corresponding to 1
similarly for 2 also and soon......... help me
data<-data.frame(x=c(1,1,2,2,2,3,4,4,4),y=c(23,45,87,46,78,12,87,79));**
