[R] Filtering an Entire Dataset based on Several Conditions

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Something like this?
First normalize the data.
Then a apply loop creates a logical matrix giving which numbers are in 
the range -3 to 3.
If they are all TRUE then their sum by rows is equal to the number of 
columns. This creates a logical index i.
Use that index i to subset the scaled data set.

# test data set, remove the Species column (not numeric)
df1 <- iris[-5]

df1_norm <- scale(df1)
i <- rowSums(apply(df1_norm, 2, \(x) x > -3 & x < 3)) == ncol(df1_norm)

# returns a matrix
df1_norm[i, ]

# returns a data.frame
as.data.frame(df1_norm[i,])


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
