I know one of R's advantages is it's ability to index, eliminating the need for control loops to select relevant data, so I thought this problem would be easy. I can't crack it. I have looked through past postings, but nothing seems to match this problem
I have a data set with one column of actors and one column of acts. I need a list that will give me a pair of actors in each row, provided they both participated in the act. Example: The Data looks like this: Jim A Bob A Bob C Larry D Alice C Tom F Tom D Tom A Alice B Nancy B I would like this: Jim Bob Jim Tom Bob Alice Larry Tom Alice Nancy The order doesn't matter (Jim-Bob vs. Bob-Jim), but each pairing should be counted only once.
