R help - Jan 2009 - Creating Sub-Matrix

Hello,

How do I get sub-matrix? Example, I would like to get matrix of size 3x7
from the matrix of size 4x7. Meaning that I try to exclude one row of the
original matrix.

Thanks

Just exclude the row by negative indexing - e.g. foo[-2,]

You may want to consider reading the "Introduction to R" where all
these
concepts are explained to new users.
