mat is a matrix with X and Y values. > mat X Y [1,] 56 20 [2,] 56 21 [3,] 2 50 [4,] 3 46 [5,] 18 77 [6,] 57 12 [7,] 57 36 [8,] 95 45 [9,] 65 23 [10,] 33 25 [11,] 33 98 [12,] 63 96 [13,] 66 75 [14,] 99 54 [15,] 78 65 [16,] 75 69 [17,] 54 68 [18,] 54 67 [19,] 0 22 [20,] 14 74 [21,] 15 52 [22,] 46 10 [23,] 6 20 [24,] 6 30
As you can see, some of the X values repeat. I wish to maintain only one of the X values that is repeated, however, I would like to have the sum of the corresponding Y values. For example, the X value of 6 repeats, with values 20 and 30. In the output, I would like to have 6 as X value, with the corresponding Y value of 50 (20+30). The output from mat above should be: > mat1 X1 Y1 [1,] 56 41.0 [2,] 2 50.0 [3,] 3 46.0 [4,] 18 77.0 [5,] 57 48.0 [6,] 95 45.0 [7,] 65 23.0 [8,] 33 123.0 [9,] 63 96.0 [10,] 66 75.0 [11,] 99 54.0 [12,] 78 65.0 [13,] 75 69.0 [14,] 54 67.5 [15,] 0 22.0 [16,] 14 74.0 [17,] 15 52.0 [18,] 46 10.0 [19,] 6 50.0 I have not been able to come up with a code, I was wondering if someone can help me with a code to handle this.
