[R] Subsetting by number of observations in a factor

Jim,

Looks good. I also have an alternative solution which appears to work,
so I'll see which is quicker on the big data set in question.

My solution:

mgsize <- as.data.frame(table(in$mg))
in2 <- merge(in,mgsize,by.x="mg",by.y="Var1")
out <- subset(in2, Freq > 1, select= -Freq)

Thanks for your help.

Ron.
