Subset rows by their original position in the data.frame. Grouped data.frames use the position within each group.
Usage
slice(.data, ...)
slice_head(.data, ..., n, prop)
slice_tail(.data, ..., n, prop)
slice_min(.data, order_by, ..., n, prop, with_ties = TRUE)
slice_max(.data, order_by, ..., n, prop, with_ties = TRUE)
slice_sample(.data, ..., n, prop, weight_by = NULL, replace = FALSE)Arguments
- .data
A
data.frame.- ...
For
slice(): integer row values.Provide either positive values to keep, or negative values to drop. The values provided must be either all positive or negative. Indices beyond the number of rows in the input are silently ignored.
- n, prop
Provide either
n, the number of rows, orprop, the proportion of rows to select. If neither are supplied,n = 1will be used.If
nis greater than the number of rows in the group (orprop > 1), the result will be silently truncated to the group size. If theproportion of a group size is not an integer, it is rounded down.- order_by
The variable to order by.
- with_ties
logical(1). Should ties be kept together? The default,TRUE, may return more rows than you request. UseFALSEto ignore ties, and return the firstnrows.- weight_by
Sampling weights. This must evaluate to a vector of non-negative numbers the same length as the input. Weights are automatically standardised to sum to 1.
- replace
logical(1). Should sampling be performed with (TRUE) or without (FALSE, the default) replacement.
Value
An object of the same type as .data. The output has the following properties:
Each row may appear 0, 1, or many times in the output.
Columns are not modified.
Groups are not modified.
Data frame attributes are preserved.
