Hello. I have looked at R Site Search for this problem, and it didn't
give me exactly what I needed.
Consider this dataset called "results". It has the following information:
Student Day Subject Score
Mary 1 Math Failed
David 2 Science Passed
Bob 4 Reading Passed
Marie 4 Reading Failed
Jesse 3 Spelling Borderline
Et cetera
My goal is to only do analysis of the data having to do those who passed
or who are borderline. I want to ignore all of the data having to do with
those who failed. I think part of the syntax is something like
results[-c("Failed")], but I'm not getting anywhere with it.
How do I create a separate data set containing all information on students
who either passed or were borderline?
Thanks.
Bernard
