Dear all,
I have two vectors x and y, both of which are of length 1000.
I created a factor as.factor(rep(1:100,each=10)).
Now I want to count, for each factor level, the number of intersections
between x and y. In other words, I would like to count the number of
intersections between x[1:10] and y[1:10], the number of
intersections between x[11:20] and y[11:20], the number of
intersections between x[21:30] and y[21:30] and so on.
I know I could use the match function or the "%in% " function in a
loop,
but would rather use some simpler way to do this, for example using tapply.
Can anyone give a hint? Thanks a lot.
