Hi Jing,

I am not sure I got your definition of a "subset" right, but maybe this helps.

Regards,
Enrico

x <- c(0,0,1)
y <- c(0,1,1)
z <- c(0,1,0)

## is x a 'subset' of y?
isSubset <- function(x, y) {
    x <- as.logical(x)
    y <- as.logical(y)
    all(y[x] == TRUE)
}

isSubset(x, y)
isSubset(z, y)
isSubset(x, z)

## create all subsets
exampleVec <- c(0,1,1,0,1)
fun <- function(t)
    if (t) 0:1 else 0
expand.grid(lapply(as.list(exampleVec), fun))

Hi,

I need some neat ways of determing a subset of binary strings. For example,
x=c(0,0,1), y=c(0,1,1), z=c(0,1,0). So x is a subset of y and z is also a
subset of y, but x is not a subset of z.

I tried to search R functions and packages but no hits. Any ideas?



Best,

Jing
