Slicing Rows

H2O lazily slices out rows of data and will only materialize a shared copy upon IO. This example shows how to slice rows from a frame of data.

library(h2o)
h2o.init()
path <- "http://h2o-public-test-data.s3.amazonaws.com/smalldata/iris/iris_wheader.csv"
df <- h2o.importFile(path)

# Slice 1 row by index.
c1 <- df[15, ]
print(c1)

[1 row x 5 columns]

# Slice a range of rows.
c1_1 <- df[25:49, ]
print(c1_1)
