Dear all, I have querry on how to extract the data by matching between two data set where one has the same elements multiple times? For example, I have two matrix X and Y.
X
[,1] [,2] [,3] 1 A 5 P 2 B 6 P 3 C 7 P 4 D 5 Q 5 E 6 Q 6 F 7 Q 7 G 5 R 8 H 6 R 9 I 7 S 10 J 5 S 11 K 6 T 12 L 7 T and
Y [,1]
1 P 2 Q 3 R 4 S Now, I want to select and extract all the data of P, Q, R and S elements of column 3 of X matrix by matching with column 1 of Y matrix like below:
[,1] [,2] [,3]
1 A 5 P 2 B 6 P 3 C 7 P 4 D 5 Q 5 E 6 Q 6 F 7 Q 7 G 5 R 8 H 6 R 9 I 7 S 10 J 5 S I guess, the answer might be simple but i am not getting way to figure out. And, i have to select subset from very huge data set. So, i need some kinds of automated procedure. If some one can help me, it will be great
subset(X, X[,3] %in% Y[,1])
[,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] "A" "5" "P" [2,] "B" "6" "P" [3,] "C" "7" "P" [4,] "D" "5" "Q" [5,] "E" "6" "Q" [6,] "F" "7" "Q" [7,] "G" "5" "R" [8,] "H" "6" "R" [9,] "I" "7" "S" [10,] "J" "5" "S"
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
