subsetting
Selecting data subgroups
Subsetting is the process of selecting a portion of a larger set based on specific criteria.
In statistics and data analysis, subsetting extracts rows or columns from a dataset that meet certain conditions: We subsetted the data to include only participants over age 65.
The term appears frequently in programming contexts, where it describes filtering arrays, tables, or other data structures to work with a manageable or relevant portion rather than the whole.
