[R] pairwise comparisions

[arun]

HI,
Sorry, there was a mistake.  I forgot to add some code.

Try this:
dat1<-read.table(text="
   a b c d
x  3 6 7 6
y  7 8 6 5
z  5 4 7 8
",sep="",header=TRUE) 


new1<-sapply(combn(dat1[,1:4],2),`[`,1:3)
 colnames(new1)<-sapply(combn(colnames(dat1),2),`[`,1)
new2<-as.matrix(new1)
 dim(new2)<-c(3,2,6)
list1<-do.call(list,lapply(1:dim(new2)[3],function(i) new2[,,i]))
reslist1<-lapply(list1,function(x) apply(x,1,function(x) ifelse(min(x[1],x[2])>5,1,0)))
names(reslist1)<-c("ab","ac","ad","bc","bd","cd")
res<-data.frame(counts=apply(do.call(cbind,reslist1),1,sum))
 row.names(res)<-row.names(dat1)
 res
#  counts
#x      3
#y      3
#z      1
A.K.

How new? Is this still in a file? ... or has it been imported to an R object. If it really still is in a file,  then Bert's suggestion of first reading "Intro to R" rather than posting to R help is on point. If it is an R object, you _should_ have used dput(head(obj)) to provide an appropriate test case for solutions.

Let's assume it's in a matrix of data.frame named X. To get pairwise combinations try:

CX <- combn( colnames(X), 2)

That's going to be a 2 row character matrix. Perhaps this will work but since you provide not example it will remain untested.

apply(CX, 2, function(comb), pmin(X[, comb[1]], X[, comb[2]] ) )
