Hi All, I have a data frame, whose colnames like "A.x, B.x, C.x, A.y, B.y, C.y". There could be many columns like this pattern. I want to compare data in columns A.x with A.y, B.x with B.y and C.x with C.y etc. Suppose my data frame is d, names(d) = c("A.x", "B.x", "C.x", "A.y", "B.y", "C.y");
If I want to D1 = data.frame(d$A.x, d$A.y); D2 = data.frame(d$B.x, d$B.y); etc. or do other operation for each pair, What is elegant way to do it rather than use a loop? Thanks.
