Hi Peter, Thanks for testing it and notifying. I didn't test it to other situtations.
Probably this should give similar results as Rui's #Test 1: x<-c(1,2,3,3,3,4,4,5) func1<-function(x) !is.na(match(x,x[duplicated(x)])) func1(x) #[1] FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE x[!func1(x)] #[1] 1 2 5 #Rui's function fun<-function(x) x%in%x[duplicated(x)] fun(x) #[1] FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE identical(func1(x),fun(x)) #[1] TRUE #Test2: x2<-c(1,2,-1,-1,2,3,4,-4,4,5,5,5,6,7) x2[!func1(x2)] #[1] 1 3 -4 6 7 identical(func1(x2),fun(x2)) #[1] TRUE A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Ehlers <ehl...@ucalgary.ca> To: arun <smartpink...@yahoo.com> Cc: Nico902 <descos...@ciml.univ-mrs.fr>; R help <r-help@r-project.org> Sent: Monday, July 9, 2012 4:14 PM Subject: Re: [R] unique vs duplicate problem On 2012-07-09 11:07, arun wrote: > Hi, > Try this: > #Duplicated: > x<-c(1:3,3) > x==x[duplicated(x)] > #[1] FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE > #Unique: > x[!x==x[duplicated(x)]] > #[1] 1 2 > > > A.K. > Try the above approach with x <- c(1,2,3,3,3,4,4,5) I think Rui's solution is preferable.
