[R] Tabulating

[Robin Hankin]

Hi

I think Andy Liaw's suggestion can be modified to handle my
interpretation of Patrik's question; try:

R> data
 [1] 10 10 11 10 12 11 10 12 11 11 10 11
R> table(c(data,NA),c(NA,data))  -> x.tab
R> c(diag(x.tab), x.tab[upper.tri(x.tab)] + x.tab[lower.tri(x.tab)])
10 11 12 NA NA NA 
 1  1  0  5  2  2 
R> 

so the "5" means that there are five "10 11" or "11 10" pairs 


best
