The following will work IF all columns are integer:
> apply(m, 2, function(x){tabulate(na.omit(x))})
x1 x2 x3
[1,] 5 0 5
[2,] 3 3 5
[3,] 3 5 4
[4,] 3 5 3
Please note that the result will look slightly different, if some columns
contain
the largest value and others don't:
> x1<-as.integer(c(1,2,3,4,NA ,NA ,NA, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5))
> m<-data.frame(x1,x2,x3)
> apply(m, 2, function(x){tabulate(na.omit(x))})
$x1
[1] 5 3 3 2 1
$x2
[1] 0 3 5 5
$x3
[1] 5 5 4 3
