hi, I met some problems in R, plz help me. 1. How to do a intersect operation among several groups in one list, without a loop statement? (I think It may be a list) create data: myData <- data.frame(product = c(1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,2), year=c(2009,2009,2009,2010,2010,2010,2011,2011,2011),value=c(1104,608,606,1504,508,1312,900,1100,800)) mySplit<- split(myData,myData$year) mySplit $`2009` product year value 1 1 2009 1104 2 2 2009 608 3 3 2009 606
$`2010` product year value 4 1 2010 1504 5 2 2010 508 6 3 2010 1312 $`2011` product year value 7 1 2011 900 8 2 2011 1100 9 2 2011 800 I want to get intersection of product between every year. I know the basic is: intersect(intersect(mySplit[[1]]$product, mySplit[[2]]$product),mySplit[[3]]$product) this will give the correct answer: [1] 1 2 above code lacks reusability, so It should use a for loop: myIntersect<-mySplit[[1]]$product for (i in 1:length(mySplit)-1){ myIntersect<-intersect(myIntersect,mySplit[[i+1]]$product) } It's correct too, but stll too complex, so my question is: Can I do the same thing just use another similar intersect function (without for/repeat/while). What's this simple function's name ? 2.how to do a relative computation after split (notice: not befor split)? create data: myData1 <- data.frame(product = c(1,2,3,1,2,3), year=c(2009,2009,2009,2010,2010,2010),value=c(1104,608,606,1504,508,1312),relative=0) mySplit1<- split(myData1,myData1$year) mySplit1 $`2009` product year value relative 1 1 2009 1104 0 2 2 2009 608 0 3 3 2009 606 0 $`2010` product year value relative 4 1 2010 1504 0 5 2 2010 508 0 6 3 2010 1312 0 I want compute relative value in the every group, what I mean is , I want get the result is just like below: $`2009` product year value relative 1 1 2009 1104 0 2 2 2009 608 -496 3 3 2009 606 -2 $`2010` product year value relative 4 1 2010 1504 0 5 2 2010 508 -996 6 3 2010 1312 804 I think to use a loop maybe work, but Is there no direct method on list? 3.how to do a sorting after split, It's just like above question, what I want is sorting by value: $`2009` product year value relative 3 3 2009 606 0 2 2 2009 608 0 1 1 2009 1104 0 $`2010` product year value relative 5 2 2010 508 0 6 3 2010 1312 0 4 1 2010 1504 0 4. how to do a filtering after split, Yes, It's just like above quetion, what I want is filtering out data which value is more than 1000: $`2009` product year value relative 1 1 2009 1104 0 $`2010` product year value relative 4 1 2010 1504 0 6 3 2010 1312 0 -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/problem-about-set-operation-and-computation-after-split-tp4632496.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
