[R] ? extended rep()

2008-10-20 Thread Ted Harding
Hi Folks,
I'm wondering if there's a compact way to achieve the
following. The dream is that, by analogy with

  rep(c(0,1),times=c(3,4))
# [1] 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

one could write

  rep(c(0,1),times=c(3,4,5,6))

which would produce

# [1] 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1

in effect recycling x through 'times'.

The objective is to produce a vector of alternating runs of
0s and 1s, with the lengths of the runs supplied as a vector.
Indeed, more generally, something like

  rep(c(0,1,2), times=c(1,2,3,2,3,4))
# [1] 0 1 1 2 2 2 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 2

Suggestions appreciated! With thanks,
Ted.

will this do what you want:

 f.rep - function(x, times){
+ # make sure the 'x' is long enough
+ x - head(rep(x, length(times)), length(times))
+ rep(x, times)
+ }

 f.rep(c(0,1), c(3,4,5,6,7))
 [1] 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Try this:

with(data.frame(x = 0:1, times = 3:6), rep(x, times))

or even shorter:

do.call(rep, data.frame(x = 0:1, times = 3:6))

Re: [R] ? extended rep()

2008-10-20 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
Here is one other solution:

x - 0:1
times - 3:6
rep(x + 0*times, times)

This solution also works if the length of times is not a whole
number of lengths of x but in that case it does give a warning
which seems reasonable since that is the way recycling in
R works elsewhere too.

If ever we are both within reach of 'en øl', then yes.
But Gabor came up with a shorter one.

I tried to shorten Gabor's but failed.

However, all competitors are entitled to a consolation prize!

That is sneaky!

  data.frame(x = 0:1, times = 3:6)
#   x times
# 1 0 3
# 2 1 4
# 3 0 5
# 4 1 6

(Which is why it won't work with list(x=0:1,times=3:6))
