Michael,

Use %in% to select multiple cases:

dat[dat$sc_recov %in% c(21, 31, 41), ]

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.

Dieter Menne:
Thanks for the suggestion and link, it looks good. I think my trouble
now is
lack of basic R knowledge.

Cheers,
Michael

For example,

I tried:
histogram(~bbContag | sc_recov, data=dat)

This would work fine if I could select cases from sc_recov. How can I
select
more than one case? I know I can do:

sc_recov.21 <- dat[dat$sc_recov=21,]

but how could I select all cases where sc_recov = 21, 31 or 41?
