HI, Try this: dt0<-data.frame(t0) dt1<-data.frame(t1) res1<-merge(dt0,dt1,by="Var1") res2<-aggregate(Freq.x+Freq.y~Var1,data=res1,sum) colnames(res2)[2]<-"Freq" res3<-rbind( dt0[!dt0$Var1%in%res2$Var1,],dt1[!dt1$Var1%in%res2$Var1,] ,res2) row.names(res3)<-1:nrow(res3) xtabs(Freq~Var1,data=res3) #Var1 # age belief epoch foolishness it of # 2 1 2 1 6 6 # the was wisdom darkness incredulity light # 6 6 1 1 1 1 # season # 2

I have searched around but have been unable to find exactly what I need. I have two frequency tables obtained from two sample texts t0<-table(strsplit(tolower("It was the age of wisdom it was the age of foolishness it was the epoch of belief"), "\\W")) t1<-table(strsplit(tolower("it was the epoch of incredulity it was the season of Light it was the season of Darkness"), "\\W")) so I get: > t0 age belief epoch foolishness it of the was wisdom 2 1 1 1 3 3 3 3 1 > t1 darkness epoch incredulity it light of season the was 1 1 1 3 1 3 2 3 3 I need to merge these two tables into one so that the frequencies for each word are added, e.g. the word "it" would have 6. So resulting table would be age belief darkness epoch foolishness incredulity it light 2 1 1 2 1 1 6 1 of season the was wisdom 6 2 6 6 1 Any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Merging-two-or-more-frequency-tables-tp4643663.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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. ______________________________________________ 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.
