Hi, I am looking for a way in which I can check if rows in 1 dataframe are present in another data frame in a unique way. A row in dataframe should be super set of any row in another dataframe.
I can write a for loop for it, however, that will be inefficient. So, I am looking for an efficient way to do this in R. I have explained it with an example below: I want to check if a row in dataframe B is: 1) either equal to any row in A or 2) has 1's atleast for the columns where (any) row in B has 1's. My output/result is a vector of 1(TRUE) or 0(FALSE) of length equal to number of rows in B. The first row in B is exactly present in A so result has first bit as 1. Second row in B has matches with 2nd row of dataframe A (it has an extra 1 in 3rd column,which is ok);so second bit of result is also 1. Similarly, the 3rd row of B, can match to any row in A, so 3rd bit in result is also a 1. Next, 4th row in B has 1 for a column where no row in A has 1, so last bit in result is 0. Dataframe A 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 Dataframe B 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 Result<- 1 1 1 0 Thanks for the help, Neha [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
