is there a way to do that without generating a data.frame?

In my real data, I have a big data.frame and I have to compare over different columns...

Try this:

DF <- data.frame(x, nxt = c(tail(x, -1), NA), prv = c(NA, head(x, -1)))
DF
 x nxt prv
1 1   2  NA
2 2   3   1
3 3   4   2
4 4   5   3
5 5   2   4
6 2   6   5
7 6  NA   2
subset(DF, nxt == 3 & prv == 1)$x
[1] 2

Hi,

I have a quit abstract problem, hope someone can help me here.

I have a vector like this:


x <- c(1,2,3,4,5,2,6)
x

[1] 1 2 3 4 5 2 6

now I want to get the number where the previous number is 1 and the next
number is 3
(that is the 2 at the second place)

I tried something with tail(x, -1) ...
with that, I can check the next number, but how can I check the previous
number?
