[R] Subsetting dataframe by the nearest values of a vector elements

[Adams, Jean]

Harun,

Can you give a simple example?

If your cross_section looked like this
c(144, 179, 214, 39, 284, 109, 74, 4, 249)
and your other vector looked like this
c(0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350)
what would you want your subset to look like?
