Dear R users, I am trying to merge tables based on both their row names and column names. My ultimate goal is to build a distribution table of values for each combination of row and column names. I have more test tables, more x's and y's than in the toy example below. Thanks in advance for your help.
For example : test1 <- data.frame(rbind(c(0.1,0.2),0.3,0.1)) rownames(test1)=c('y1','y2','y3') colnames(test1) = c('x1','x2'); test2 <- data.frame(rbind(c(0.8,0.9,0.5),c(0.5,0.1,0.6))) rownames(test2) = c('y2','y5') colnames(test2) = c('x1','x3','x2') test1 x1 x2 y1 0.1 0.2 y2 0.3 0.3 y3 0.1 0.1 test2 x1 x3 x2 y2 0.8 0.9 0.5 y5 0.5 0.1 0.6 I would like to combine test1 and test2 such that if the column name and row name are both the same they are combined. combined_test x1 x2 x3 y1 0.1 0.2 NA y2 (0.3,0.8) (0.3,0.5) 0.9 y3 0.1 0.1 NA y5 0.5 0.6 0.1 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
