Hi David,

According to your question below, the reason that d2 fail is that

sub[41,] supposes to pick out the 41th row in the sub matrix, rather than
the row with case=41.

When you subset the original d matrix, the value of case doesn't not
correspond to the number of row any more. However, it should still work on
the d matrix and that's why d3 still work.

Hope it helps.
