Hi again,
Thanks for Anthony about the links on reproducible codes.
Thanks for Rui about ordering when rows are intact.
One more question
Here is your code.
x <-
cbind(
sample( LETTERS[1:6] , 100 , replace = TRUE ) ,
sample( LETTERS[1:6] , 100 , replace = TRUE ) ,
sample( LETTERS[1:6] , 100 , replace = TRUE )
)
y <- as.matrix( x )
w2 <- apply( y , 1 , paste0 , collapse = "" )
table(w2)
Do you know any trick to organize merge certain elements together?
For example, if the final table includes
BCC, CCB, CBC how should I sum frequency of one element like BCC? I have a
very long table it would be indeed very useful!
Niklas.
