r - Purging observations from a dataset based on number of occurrences -


i have data frame in 1 variable categorical , has large number of possible values. i'm trying process data frame in way removes instance of categorical variable occurs fewer x number of times.

for example, if i'm dealing car makes variable, may like:

toyota ford lexus ford acura subaru dodge ford ford lexus ... ... ...

i remove observations in car make classifier occurs fewer ten times. example, if ford, lexus, , toyota appear 30, 20, , 15 times, , others fewer ten, remove other entries associated makes.

i know command like

cars.processed <- which(table(cars$make) > 10)

does produce integer count of how many classifiers meet required criteria, don't know how move on there.

thanks help!

lets assume df data.frame , x column in questions , thr threshold: 

thr <- 3 keep <- names(which(table(df$x) > thr)) df   <- df[df$x %in% keep, ]  # optionally, drop levels df$x <- droplevels(df$x)

here data.table solution well: 

library(data.table)  dt <- data.table(df)  dt[x %in% names(which(table(x)>thr))]

or if dont mind reordering rows according x, gets more succinct

dt <- data.table(df, key="x")  dt[.(names(which(table(x)>thr)))]

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua
