\title{Get a new DMatrix containing the specified rows of
original xgb.DMatrix object}
\usage{
xgb.slice.DMatrix(object, idxset, allow_groups = FALSE)

\method{[}{xgb.DMatrix}(object, idxset, colset = NULL)
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{Object of class "xgb.DMatrix".}

\item{idxset}{An integer vector of indices of rows needed (base-1 indexing).}

\item{allow_groups}{Whether to allow slicing an \code{xgb.DMatrix} with \code{group} (or
equivalently \code{qid}) field. Note that in such case, the result will not have
the groups anymore - they need to be set manually through \code{setinfo}.}

\item{colset}{currently not used (columns subsetting is not available)}
}
\description{
