Hello,

My dataset look like this:

VarA       VarB

a     1.50 (1.25, 2.00)

b     0.70 (0.50, 0.90)

c     0.85 (0.70, 1.30)

         

VarB is a risk ratio estimate and 95% confidence interval. I would like to subset the observations where the confidence interval excludes 1.00 (VarA = a and b in this example). Could someone please suggest a program to parse VarB and subset accordingly? Thank you.
