I'm trying to compare two matrices made up of bits. doing a simple comparison of matA == matB yields this sort of output. [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE [2,] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE [3,] FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE [4,] FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE [5,] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE [6,] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE I really would like just one comprehensive value to say TRUE or FALSE. This is the hack (rather ugly I think) I put together that works, but there has to be a nicer way, no? res=pop[1:ROWS,] == keep[1:ROWS,] if ((ROWS*COL) == sum(res)) { cat('they are equal\n') }else cat('they are NOT equal\n') Thanks!

Have a look at all.equal matA <- matrix(1:4, ncol = 2) matB <- matA all.equal(matA, matB) matB[1,1] <- -10 all.equal(matA, matB) HTH, Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.

I'm not sure I'm following you but have you tried, identical(matrix(c(1,1,1,1),ncol=2), matrix(c(1,1,1,1),ncol=2)) ?all.equal ?isTRUE ?identical and possibly the compare package, compare(matrix(c(1,1,1,1),ncol=2),matrix(c(1,1,1,1),ncol=2)) HTH, baptiste On 26 Apr 2009, at 18:02, Esmail wrote:> I'm trying to compare two matrices made up of bits. > > doing a simple comparison of > > matA == matB > > yields this sort of output. > > [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] > [1,] FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE > [2,] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE > [3,] FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE > [4,] FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE > [5,] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE > [6,] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE > > I really would like just one comprehensive value to say TRUE or FALSE. > > This is the hack (rather ugly I think) I put together that works, > but there has to be a nicer way, no? > > res=pop[1:ROWS,] == keep[1:ROWS,] > > if ((ROWS*COL) == sum(res)) > { > cat('they are equal\n') > }else > cat('they are NOT equal\n') > > Thanks! > > Esmail > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code._____________________________ Baptiste Augui?
