How to remove a row from matrix in R by using its name?
To remove a row from matrix in R by using its name, we can follow the below steps −
First of all, create a matrix.
Then, add names to rows of the matrix.
After that, subset the matrix by deselecting the desired row with negation and single square brackets for subsetting.
Example
Create the matrix
Let’s create a matrix as shown below −
M<-matrix(rpois(100,5),ncol=4) M
Output
On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 6 0 5 7 [2,] 2 6 8 7 [3,] 9 6 5 5 [4,] 4 8 3 8 [5,] 6 4 2 9 [6,] 3 4 4 9 [7,] 7 6 5 6 [8,] 4 5 7 2 [9,] 7 5 9 8 [10,] 5 7 8 5 [11,] 7 9 5 8 [12,] 9 2 4 8 [13,] 7 2 4 5 [14,] 2 6 8 4 [15,] 8 4 7 7 [16,] 5 3 3 2 [17,] 6 5 5 5 [18,] 5 7 8 5 [19,] 6 5 5 5 [20,] 2 9 6 4 [21,] 5 3 7 7 [22,] 5 3 12 5 [23,] 8 3 3 5 [24,] 7 3 6 1 [25,] 3 3 5 7
Add the row names
Using rownames function to add the row names to matrix M −
M<-matrix(rpois(100,5),ncol=4) rownames(M)<-LETTERS[1:25] M
Output
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] A 6 0 5 7 B 2 6 8 7 C 9 6 5 5 D 4 8 3 8 E 6 4 2 9 F 3 4 4 9 G 7 6 5 6 H 4 5 7 2 I 7 5 9 8 J 5 7 8 5 K 7 9 5 8 L 9 2 4 8 M 7 2 4 5 N 2 6 8 4 O 8 4 7 7 P 5 3 3 2 Q 6 5 5 5 R 5 7 8 5 S 6 5 5 5 T 2 9 6 4 U 5 3 7 7 V 5 3 12 5 W 8 3 3 5 X 7 3 6 1 Y 3 3 5 7
Remove the row from matrix using row name
Subset the matrix by deselecting the row A with negation and single square brackets as shown below −
M<-matrix(rpois(100,5),ncol=4) rownames(M)<-LETTERS[1:25] M<-M[rownames(M)!="A",] M
Output
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] B 2 6 8 7 C 9 6 5 5 D 4 8 3 8 E 6 4 2 9 F 3 4 4 9 G 7 6 5 6 H 4 5 7 2 I 7 5 9 8 J 5 7 8 5 K 7 9 5 8 L 9 2 4 8 M 7 2 4 5 N 2 6 8 4 O 8 4 7 7 P 5 3 3 2 Q 6 5 5 5 R 5 7 8 5 S 6 5 5 5 T 2 9 6 4 U 5 3 7 7 V 5 3 12 5 W 8 3 3 5 X 7 3 6 1 Y 3 3 5 7
