Subsetting vector-like, matrix-like and data-frame-like objects
Description
Return subsets of vector-like, matrix-like or data-frame-like objects which meet conditions.
NOTE: This man page is for the subset
S4 generic function
defined in the BiocGenerics package.
See ?base::subset

S3 generic
defined in the base package.
Usage
subset(x, ...)
Arguments
x |
A vector-like, matrix-like or data-frame-like object to be subsetted. |

Additional arguments (e.g. |
Value
An object similar to x
containing just the selected elements (for a
vector-like object), or the selected rows and columns (for a matrix-like or
data-frame-like object).
