The last line of the example in droplevels' manual page seems to be incorrect to me. I think it should read: "table(droplevels(aq$Month))". Amazingly (I don't understand) both variants seem to produce the same result (R 3.3.3):
---
> aq <- transform(airquality, Month = factor(Month, labels = month.abb[5:9]))
> aq <- subset(aq, Month != "Jul")
> table(aq$Month)
May Jun Jul Aug Sep
31 30 0 31 30
> table(droplevels(aq)$Month)
May Jun Aug Sep
31 30 31 30
> table(droplevels(aq$Month))
May Jun Aug Sep
31 30 31 30
>
---
For the sake of learners, try to keep the examples simple and useful, even though you experts want to impress the newbees...
