[R] ftables package, zero rows

dear all,

i'm just about to do some straightforward contingency tables using ftables
(and ctab() for percents).

the problem:
factor "a" are regions, factor "b" are subregions. 
every region "a" consists of some subregions "b", but
obviously not every subregion "b" is part of every region
"a".
if i use the ftable() function, the table contains a lot of zero rows which i
don't want in my output.

minimal example:

a <- c(1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2)> b <- c(4,5,6,5,4,7,8,9,8,7)
> c <-
c("a","b","c","d","a","b","b","a","d","d")
> A <- cbind(a,b,c)
> A      a   b   c  
 [1,] "1" "4" "a"
 [2,] "1" "5" "b"
 [3,] "1" "6" "c"
 [4,] "1" "5" "d"
 [5,] "1" "4" "a"
 [6,] "2" "7" "b"
 [7,] "2" "8" "b"
 [8,] "2" "9" "a"
 [9,] "2" "8" "d"
[10,] "2" "7" "d"> test <- ftable(a,b,c)
> test    c a b c d
a b          
1 4   2 0 0 0
  5   0 1 0 1
  6   0 0 1 0
  7   0 0 0 0
  8   0 0 0 0
  9   0 0 0 0
2 4   0 0 0 0
  5   0 0 0 0
  6   0 0 0 0
  7   0 1 0 1
  8   0 1 0 1
  9   1 0 0 0

my question: how can i "delete" the zero rows and preserve the
structure and attributes of the original table?
 simply doing something like:
test2 <- test[test>0] 
obviously only returns the non-zero values, but not the nice structure and
attributes of the original table.

to do it by hand is not an option as the original table has like 2000 rows, 1500
of which are zero...

thanks in advance
marc

Try this:

test[test == 0] <- ''

[R] ftables package, zero rows

thanks, but not quite what i wanted.
to be more precise: i want the whole zero-lines to be deleted, including the
attribute. in my final table only rows with non-zero rows should remain.
regarding my small toy example:
this is what i have:>test
>  c a b c d
>  a b
>  1 4 2 0 0 0
>  5 0 1 0 1
>  6 0 0 1 0
>  7 0 0 0 0
>  8 0 0 0 0
>  9 0 0 0 0
>  2 4 0 0 0 0
>  5 0 0 0 0
>  6 0 0 0 0
>  7 0 1 0 1
>  8 0 1 0 1
>  9 1 0 0 0

this is what i want:
>  c    a b c d
>  ab
>  1  4 2 0 0 0
>      5 0 1 0 1
>      6 0 0 1 0
> 2   7 0 1 0 1
>      8 0 1 0 1
>     9 1 0 0 0
best regards
marc

[R] ftables package, zero rows

Does this help?

a <- c(1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2)
b <- c(4,5,6,5,4,7,8,9,8,7)
c <-
c("a","b","c","d","a","b","b","a","d","d")
A <- cbind(a,b,c)
test <- ftable(a,b,c)

test.df <- data.frame(test)
test.df[test.df$Freq != 0, ]

Doesn't quite give the layout you seem to want, but effectively removes the
zeros.
