A mess -- due to your continued use of html formatting. But something like this may do what you want (hard to tell with the mess):
> m <- matrix(1:16,nrow=8)[rep(1:8,2),] > m [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 9 [2,] 2 10 [3,] 3 11 [4,] 4 12 [5,] 5 13 [6,] 6 14 [7,] 7 15 [8,] 8 16 [9,] 1 9 [10,] 2 10 [11,] 3 11 [12,] 4 12 [13,] 5 13 [14,] 6 14 [15,] 7 15 [16,] 8 16 > vec <- apply(m,1,paste,collapse="-") ## converts rows into character vector > vec [1] "1-9" "2-10" "3-11" "4-12" "5-13" "6-14" "7-15" "8-16" "1-9" "2-10" "3-11" "4-12" "5-13" "6-14" [15] "7-15" "8-16" > ## Then maybe: > tapply(seq_along(vec),vec, I) $`1-9` [1] 1 9 $`2-10` [1] 2 10 $`3-11` [1] 3 11 $`4-12` [1] 4 12 $`5-13` [1] 5 13 $`6-14` [1] 6 14 $`7-15` [1] 7 15 $`8-16` [1] 8 16 > ## gives the row numbers for each unique row There may well be slicker ways to do this -- if this is actually what you want to do. -- Bert On Wed, Nov 7, 2018 at 7:56 PM li li <hannah....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > I use the following example to illustrate my question.
