find the permutation function of a sorting
Hello,
Like David said, what you are trying to do with sort() can be done with
order() in a much easier way.
First, your code
x <- sort(c("bc","ac","dd"), index.return=TRUE)
Now, with function order()
i <- order(c("bc", "ac", "dd"))
y <- c("D","E", "F")[i]
y
#[1] "E" "D" "F"
# This will give you the inverse,
# just apply order() to the output of order(),
# function order() is its own inverse
y[ order(i) ]
#[1] "D" "E" "F"
Finally, compare the results and see that they are exactly the same.
identical(x$ix, i)
#[1] TRUE
Hope this helps,

We have the permutation, namely 1-->2, 2-->1, 3-->3.
How can I apply the permutation function to a new set
c("D","E", "F")?
so that the result is
c("E","D", "F").

the permutation it returns? Thanks,
x <- c(10,7,4,3,8,2) sort(x, index.return=TRUE)
$x [1] 2 3 4 7 8 10 $ix [1] 6 4 3 2 5 1
I don't understand what is being requested. The $ix value is the same as the one returned `by order`. David.

apply the function (or its inverse) elsewhere? For example, the following permutation function from the sorting in
the
matrix form is c(1,2,3), c(2,1,3)
sort(c("bc","ac","dd"))
[1] "ac" "bc" "dd"
I think you are asking for the `order` function.
I try to find it in the permutations/permute package, but I can't
find it
