useR's, First, I would like to say thanks to John Fox for providing this segment of code to perform intersection for multiple sets: intersection <- function(x, y, ...){ if (missing(...)) intersect(x, y) else intersect(x, intersection(y, ...)) }
I want to execute this function on the rows of a matrix I have: Ik.mat.test <- matrix(c(2,3,6,1,2,6,6,1,2),byrow=T,nrow=3) > Ik.mat.test [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 2 3 6 [2,] 1 2 6 [3,] 6 1 2 I need to find a way to run the intersection function on the rows of this matrix. The result should be a vector containing 2, 6. This works, but I want to find a way to do this for any size matrix. intersection(Ik.mat.test[1,],Ik.mat.test[2,], Ik.mat.test[3,]) So, if the user supplied a matrix with any number of rows, I would like to be able to run this function. Any ideas? I have tried something like do.call(intersection, list(Ik.mat.test[1,]: Ik.mat.test[3,])) but this doesnt work Thanks in advance.
