I have two data.frames. One is the subset of the other. I need to determine what rows were removed from the superset data.frame to form the subset data.frame. I was hoping to turn up functionality similar to setdiff for data.frames, but did not have any luck. It seems I need to find a function that performs the oposite as "merge".
dim(superset_dataframe)
[1] 248 31
dim(subset_dataframe)
[1] 214 31 Thank you for any suggestions of functions that might exist that might help.
Try this:
library(sqldf)
BODsub <- BOD[1:3,]
sqldf("select * from BOD except select * from BODsub")
For more see: http://sqldf.googlecode.com
