#'
#' @title generates subset tables from a data frame
#' @description This is an internal function called by the function 'subsetByClassDS'
#' @details The function generates subsets if the input of 'subsetByClassDS' is a data frame
#' and if the number of variables (columns) to subset by is 1; i.e. this
#' function is called if the user specified one variable to subset by.
#' @param df a data frame.
#' @param indx1 the column index of the variable specified by the user.
#' @param filter the minimum number of observations (i.e. rows) that are allowed.
#' @return a list which contains the subsets, their names and an integer that indicates if
#' the variable specified by user is a factor.
#' @keywords internal
#' @author Gaye, A.
