I have a data set with a number of columns. I am wanting to create a data set from this using a selection of the columns:

 

In iml

 

Instead of

use = old_use[1:100, 1:75];

 

I want to have

use = old_use[1:100, 1:50] + old_use[1:100, 53:57] + old_use[1:100, 59:75];

 

But it is not returning the correct number of columns....

The addition operator is trying to add matrices that do not have the same number of columns. Perhaps you mean to use the concatenation operator:

 

use = old_use[1:100, 1:50] || old_use[1:100, 53:57] || old_use[1:100, 59:75];

 

If so, a more efficient method is to form a vector of the column indices and then do a single extraction:

 

cols = (1:50) || (53:57) || (59:75);

use = old_use[1:100, cols];
