Delete duplicate rows from a data frame based on multiple variable
<p>Hello I'm a student in engineering in France and I have a project for the university. Presently, I would like to remove rows on my data if they are similar within their column's values. My data base looks like that :</p>

<pre><code>node   event   grade    std             date                 groupe           name

<p>Presently, I would like to remove rows if the values within there columns are similar.
In my case, if the values in the columns "node" AND "std" are similar I would like to remove the duplicate row based on this condition and keep the first row.</p>

<p>As you can see the fourth line remained because the condition that I want to create consider duplicate data only if "node" and "std" are similar. And in this case the values of "std" are equal than the previous lines but not but not for the values within "node".</p>

<p>Thanks you for the help. :)</p>
