While editing the maps, you may notice that some of the roads are not labeled properly. This means, the road type might be wrong (a highway is marked as a street) or that one road has a few road types (a highway is marked as Freeway, highway and primary at different segments). The importance of proper labeling is in two aspects:
Other sites. R 101: The Subset Function. The subset function is available in base R and can be used to return subsets of a vector, martix, or data frame which meet a particular condition. In my three years of using R, I have repeatedly used the subset() function and believe that it is the most useful tool for selecting elements of a data structure.
A subspace is a subset (of a vector space). A subset is not necessarily a subspace. Subset is a more general term while subspace is a subset, which is closed under scalar multiplication and vector addition, of a vector space.
