I am using R and need to select rows with aged (age of death) less than or equal to laclen (lactation length). I am trying to create a new data frame to only include rows/ids whereby the value of column'aged' is less than its corresponding 'laclength' value.
df: id1 id2 laclen aged 9830 64526 26 6 7609 64547 28 0 9925 64551 3 0 9922 64551 3 5 9916 64551 3 8 9917 64551 3 8 9914 64551 3 2
the new data frame should look like this:
dfnew: id1 id2 laclen aged 9830 64526 26 6 7609 64547 28 0 9925 64551 3 0 9914 64551 3 2
Any help would be appreciated!

You can extract a column of pandas DataFrame based on another value by using the DataFrame. query() method. The query() is used to query the columns of a DataFrame with a boolean expression.
➤ Select select_rows_with_given_data from the Macro name box and click on Run. It will open a custom box. ➤ In the Please Enter the Search data box type the specific data and click on OK. As a result, you will see, all the rows which contain the specific data in one of its cells are selected.
df[df$aged <= df$laclen, ]
Should do the trick. The square brackets allow you to index based on a logical expression.
You can also do
subset(df, aged <= laclen)
