Hello, Is there an easy way (other than the obvious for loop?) to select distinct values from a column vector? Many thanks Ann
Presuming that by 'distinct' you mean 'unique', see ?unique
MyVec <- rep(1:5, times = c(1:5))
MyVec
[1] 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5
unique(MyVec)
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 HTH, Marc Schwartz
