How to delete groups containing less than 3 rows of data in R? [duplicate]

One way to do it is to use the magic n() function within filter:

library(dplyr)

my_data <- data.frame(Year=1996, Site="A", Brood=c(1,1,2,2,2))

my_data %>% 
  group_by(Year, Site, Brood) %>% 
  filter(n() >= 3)

The n() function gives the number of rows in the current group (or the number of rows total if there is no grouping).
