Hi all, Is there a way to create a "dictionary" in R, such that it has <key,value> pairs? Something to the effect of: x=dictionary(c("Hi","Why","water") , c(1,5,4)) x["Why"]=5
In truth I'm looking two categorial variables function. So that if x=dictionary(c("a","b"),c(5,2)) x val 1 a 5 2 b 2 I want to compute x1^2+x2 on all combinations of x keys x1 x2 val1 val2 x1^2+x2 1 a a 5 5 30 2 b a 2 5 9 3 a b 5 2 27 4 b b 2 2 6 And then I want to be able to retrieve the result using x1 and x2. Something to the effect of: get_result["b","a"] = 9 what is the best, efficient way to do this?
