I apologize in advance: I must be overlooking something quite simple, but I'm failing to make progress.
Suppose I have a "lookup table":
Browse[2]> dput(lk_up)
structure(c("1.1", "1.9", "1.4", "1.5", "1.15", "10000", "10000",
"15000", "20000", "25000"), .Dim = c(5L, 2L), .Dimnames = list(
NULL, c("key", "val")))
Browse[2]> lk_up
key val
[1,] "1.1" "10000"
[2,] "1.9" "10000"
[3,] "1.4" "15000"
[4,] "1.5" "20000"
[5,] "1.15" "25000"
and a vector whose elements correspond with the "key" column of the
table:
Browse[2]> dput(x)
c("1.9", "1.9", "1.1", "1.1", "1.4", "1.4", "1.5", "1.5", "1.5",
"1.5")
Browse[2]> x
[1] "1.9" "1.9" "1.1" "1.1" "1.4" "1.4" "1.5" "1.5" "1.5" "1.5"
Browse[2]>
Is there a (relatively) simple (i.e., not explicitly looping) construct
that will yield a vector of the same size and shape as "x", but contain
the "value" entries from the lookup table (preserving the sequence: the
1st entry of the result must correspond to the 1st entry of the list of
keys) -- in the current example:
Browse[2]> dput(y)
c("10000", "10000", "10000", "10000", "15000", "15000", "20000",
"20000", "20000", "20000")
Browse[2]> y
[1] "10000" "10000" "10000" "10000" "15000" "15000" "20000" "20000"
"20000" "20000"
Browse[2]>
I am (unfortunately) presently limited to R-3.0.2.
Thanks....
Peace,
david
