Dear R-users, after trying and searching a long time i have the following question. is it possible to replace to following double loop by some apply calls?
####################################################################### m1 <- data.frame(v1=factor(letters[1:5]), v2=factor(letters[2:6]), v3=factor(letters[3:7])) m2 <- data.frame(v1=factor(letters[3:7]), v2=factor(letters[1:5]), v3=factor(letters[4:8])) ind <- matrix(logical(nrow(m2) * ncol(m2)), nrow = nrow(m2), byrow = TRUE) for (j in 1:ncol(m2)) { for (i in 1:nrow(m2)) { ind[i, j] <- any(levels(m1[, j]) == m2[i, j]) } ind[is.na(ind[, j]), j] <- TRUE m2[!ind[, j], j] <- NA } ####################################################################### thanks and best regards Andreas -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
