How to take a subset of a matrix in R with finite values only if the matrix contains NA and Inf values?

If we have a matrix that contains NA or Inf values and we want to take the subset of that matrix with finite values then only the rows that do not contain NA or Inf values will be the output. We can do this in R by using rowSums and is.finite function with negation operator !.

Example

 Live Demo

set.seed(999)
M1<-matrix(sample(c(1:10,NaN,Inf),25,replace=TRUE),ncol=5)
M1

Output

   [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,] 5    2   4    10   NaN
[2,] 7    8    7    2   8
[3,] 2    1   1    10   7
[4,] NaN  5   Inf   2   5
[5,] 10   8   2    1   10

Example

Finite_M1<-M1[!rowSums(!is.finite(M1)),] Finite_M1

Output

    [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,] 7    6    7    1    9
[2,] 9    3    6    5    5
[3,] 1    7    3    3    7
