Creating a Filter in R: Removing Rows Based on Sequential Conditions
Introduction The problem at hand involves creating a filter that removes rows based on sequential conditions. We’re given a dataset with two main conditions: Remove all rows where the value drops to greater than 80% of the day before. Keep removing the rows following the drop till the value rises again over 50. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of data manipulation and explore how to achieve this using R programming language.

Resolving DataFrame Mismatch: A Step-by-Step Guide to Joining Multiple Tables with Missing Matches
The issue is that the CITY column in the crime dataframe does not have any matching values with the CITY column in the district dataframe. As a result, when you try to join these two datasets using the CITY column as the key, R returns an empty character vector (character(0)). On the other hand, the COUNTY column in both datasets has some matching values, which is why the intersection of COUNTY columns returns a single county name (“adams county”).
