[R] [External] Help with sub-setting

[Richard M. Heiberger]

I think the syntax you are looking for is

datasubset <- data[ data$A ==1 & data$B ==  1 , ] )

This gives the subset of your original data for variable A with value
1 and variable B with value 1.

I would like to use the ‘summary’ and ‘table’ arguments to characterise the data of participants based on the presence of two variables and summarise this sub-set against a third variable.
