[Rd] Subsetting the "ROW"s of an object

Hi all,

Is there a better to way to subset the ROWs (in the sense of NROW) of
an vector, matrix, data frame or array than this?

subset_ROW <- function(x, i) {
  nd <- length(dim(x))
  if (nd <= 1L) {
    x[i]
  } else {
    dims <- rep(list(quote(expr = )), nd - 1L)
    do.call(`[`, c(list(quote(x), quote(i)), dims, list(drop = FALSE)))
  }
}

subset_ROW(1:10, 4:6)
#> [1] 4 5 6

str(subset_ROW(array(1:10, c(10)), 2:4))
#>  int [1:3(1d)] 2 3 4
str(subset_ROW(array(1:10, c(10, 1)), 2:4))
#>  int [1:3, 1] 2 3 4
str(subset_ROW(array(1:10, c(5, 2)), 2:4))
#>  int [1:3, 1:2] 2 3 4 7 8 9
str(subset_ROW(array(1:10, c(10, 1, 1)), 2:4))
#>  int [1:3, 1, 1] 2 3 4

subset_ROW(data.frame(x = 1:10, y = 10:1), 2:4)
#>   x y
#> 2 2 9
#> 3 3 8
#> 4 4 7

It seems like there should be a way to do this that doesn't require
generating a call with missing arguments, but I can't think of it.

Thanks!

Hadley

The following code seems to work. The only minor drawback is that, for
the last case, the output is not a data frame.

subset_ROW <- function(x, i) {
  nd <- length(dim(x))
  if (nd <= 1L)
    return(x[i])
  xx <- apply(x, 2:nd, `[`, i, drop=FALSE)
  dim(xx) <- c(length(i), dim(x)[-1])
  xx
}

Sorry, without remnants from other attempts:

subset_ROW <- function(x, i) {
  nd <- length(dim(x))
  if (nd <= 1L)
    return(x[i])
  apply(x, 2:nd, `[`, i, drop=FALSE)
}

[Rd] Subsetting the "ROW"s of an object

There probably should be an abstraction for this. In S4Vectors, we
have extractROWS().

You can use TRUE to fill the subscripts for dimensions 2:nd

subset_ROW <-
    function(x,i)
{
    mc <- quote(x[i])
    nd <- max(1L, length(dim(x)))
    mc[seq(4, length=nd-1L)] <- rep(list(TRUE), nd - 1L)

    eval(mc)

I suspect this will have suboptimal performance since the TRUEs will
get recycled. (Maybe there is, or could be, ALTREP, support for
recycling)

FWIW the code in S4Vectors that does what your subset_ROW() does is:

 
https://github.com/Bioconductor/S4Vectors/blob/04cc9516af986b30445e99fd1337f13321b7b4f6/R/subsetting-utils.R#L466-L476

(This is the default "extractROWS" method.)

Except for the normalization of 'i', it does the same as your
subset_ROW(). I don't know how to do this without generating a call
with missing arguments.
