Dear R users, I'm working with 2 data sets which look like (for example) dx and dy in the next code:
# Seed set.seed(4) # First data frame dx=matrix(rnorm(6*5),ncol=6) colnames(dx)=LETTERS[1:6] # Second data frame dy=matrix(rnorm(3*5),ncol=3) colnames(dy)=c('A','C','E') As you will notice, some columns in both data sets have the same names. At the end, what I need is something like: > res A B C D E F [1,] 0.1534642 0 -0.4045198 0 1.3437086 0 [2,] 1.0519326 0 -0.2274054 0 0.1815354 0 [3,] -0.7542112 0 0.9340962 0 1.2925123 0 [4,] -1.4821891 0 -0.4658959 0 -1.6880486 0 [5,] 0.8611319 0 -0.6375435 0 -0.8209936 0 where columns "A", "C" and "E" are the dy columns and columns "B" and "D" are zeros because, when we compare dx and dy, they are not present. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
