I have two vectos (list) that represent a years of data. Each "row" is represented by the day of year and the quantity that was sold for that day. I would like to form a new vector that is the difference between the two years of data. A sample of A (and similarly B) looks like:
> A[1:5,] DayOfYear x 1 1 1429 2 2 3952 3 3 3049 4 4 2844 5 5 2219 > D <- A - B This works just fine if A and B are both the same length. How is the best way to handle the situation where A and B are of different lengths? If the day of year exists in both vectors (lists) then I just want the coorespondng "row" in D to be the difference btween A and B values. If the "row" doesn't exist in either A or B then the difference should be treated as if the missing "row" was zero. Is this feasible? Thank you.
