These are methods for the dplyr slice(), slice_head(), slice_tail(),
slice_min(), slice_max() and slice_sample() generics. They are
translated to the i argument of [.data.table.
Unlike dplyr, slice() (and slice() alone) returns the same number of
rows per group, regardless of whether or not the indices appear in each
group.

- .data
A
lazy_dt().- ...
For
slice(): <data-masking> Integer row values.Provide either positive values to keep, or negative values to drop. The values provided must be either all positive or all negative. Indices beyond the number of rows in the input are silently ignored.
For
slice_*(), these arguments are passed on to methods.- .by, by
![[Experimental]](figures/lifecycle-experimental.svg)
<
tidy-select> Optionally, a selection of columns to group by for just this operation, functioning as an alternative togroup_by(). For details and examples, see ?dplyr_by.- n, prop
Provide either
n, the number of rows, orprop, the proportion of rows to select. If neither are supplied,n = 1will be used. Ifnis greater than the number of rows in the group (orprop > 1), the result will be silently truncated to the group size.propwill be rounded towards zero to generate an integer number of rows.A negative value of
norpropwill be subtracted from the group size. For example,n = -2with a group of 5 rows will select 5 - 2 = 3 rows;prop = -0.25with 8 rows will select 8 * (1 - 0.25) = 6 rows.- order_by
<
data-masking> Variable or function of variables to order by. To order by multiple variables, wrap them in a data frame or tibble.- with_ties
Should ties be kept together? The default,
TRUE, may return more rows than you request. UseFALSEto ignore ties, and return the firstnrows.
