[R] Combine matrix

Hi R user,

I am new to R, and I have a very simple question for you. I have two matrix
A and B, with internally redundant rownames (but variables are different).
Some, but not all the rownames are shared among the two matrix. I want to
create a greater matrix that combines the previuos two, and has all the
possible combinations of matching rownames lines among matrix A and B.

looking for the solution I bumped in merge but actually works on data.frame,
and in dataframe there could be no redundancy in names.


can you help me??

[R] Combine matrix

let say something like this

>a=matrix(1:25, nrow=5)
>rownames(a)=letters[1:5]
> colnames(a)=rep("A", 5)
> a  A  A  A  A  A
a 1  6 11 16 21
b 2  7 12 17 22
c 3  8 13 18 23
d 4  9 14 19 24
e 5 10 15 20 25
> b=matrix(1:40, nrow=8)
> rownames(b)=c(rep("a",4),rep("b",4))
> colnames(b)=rep("B", 5)
> b  B  B  B  B  B
a 1  9 17 25 33
a 2 10 18 26 34
a 3 11 19 27 35
a 4 12 20 28 36
b 5 13 21 29 37
b 6 14 22 30 38
b 7 15 23 31 39
b 8 16 24 32 40

as a results I wold like something like

  A  A  A  A  A  B  B  B  B  B
a 1  6 11 16 21  1  9 17 25 33
a 1  6 11 16 21  2 10 18 26 34
a 1  6 11 16 21  3 11 19 27 35
a 1  6 11 16 21  4 12 20 28 36
b 2  7 12 17 22  5 13 21 29 37
b 2  7 12 17 22  6 14 22 30 38
b 2  7 12 17 22  7 15 23 31 39
b 2  7 12 17 22  8 16 24 32 40


does it is clear? is there a function that automate this operation?


thank you very much!

Like, maybe:

   cbind(a[rownames(b),], b)

[R] Combine matrix

This does not work in the general case. To see this,
try:
rownames(a}[5] <- "a"
and see what happens then.

[R] Combine matrix

Try this.  We convert to data frame placing the row names in column 1, do
the merge, remove column 1 and convert back to matrix:

# test input
a <- matrix(1:25, nrow = 5,
  dimnames = list(letters[1:5], rep("A", 5)))
b <- matrix(1:40, nrow = 8,
  dimnames = list(rep(letters[1:2], each = 4), rep("B", 5)))

# 1. process
to.DF <- function(x) data.frame(rn = row.names(x), x, row.names = 1:nrow(x))
out <- as.matrix(merge(to.DF(a), to.DF(b), by = 1)[,-1])
colnames(out) <- c(colnames(a), colnames(b))
out

# 2. same but merge is done using sqldf
# assume same a, b and to.DF as before

library(sqldf)
DFa <- to.DF(a)
DFb <- to.DF(b)
out <- as.matrix(sqldf("select * from DFa join DFb using(rn)")[-1])
colnames(out) <- c(colnames(a), colnames(b))
out


# 3. same but uses sqldf and proto (which sqldf automatically loads)
# assume same a, b and to.DF as before

library(sqldf)
out <- as.matrix(sqldf("select * from a join b using(rn)",
  envir = proto(a = to.DF(a), b = to.DF(b)))[-1])
colnames(out) <- c(colnames(a), colnames(b))
out
