The easiest way is probably to turn your data into a factor with the
appropriate set of levels:
R> dat <- sample(c(1:12,14), 100, replace=TRUE)
R> table(factor(dat, levels=min(dat):max(dat)))
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
9 5 4 7 7 11 8 10 9 8 6 11 0 5
that was once the solution of one of my colleagues and I find it
somewhat nicer than the one I came up with:
R> rng <- min(dat):max(dat)
R> res <- colSums(outer(dat, min(dat):max(dat), "=="))
R> names(res) <- rng
R> res
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
9 5 4 7 7 11 8 10 9 8 6 11 0 5
HTH.
