Find the unique pair combinations of an R data frame column values.
To find the unique pair combinations of an R data frame column values, we can use combn function along with unique function.
For Example, if we have a data frame called df that contains a column say x then we can find the unique pair combinations of all column values by using the command given below −
combn(unique(df$x),2,FUN=paste,collapse=' ')
Example 1
Following snippet creates a sample data frame −
Grp<-sample(c("I","II","III"),20,replace=TRUE)
df1<-data.frame(Grp)
df1The following dataframe is created
Grp 1 II 2 III 3 I 4 I 5 II 6 I 7 II 8 III 9 III 10 I 11 I 12 I 13 I 14 II 15 III 16 II 17 I 18 II 19 II 20 III
To find unique pair combinations for values in column Grp of df1 on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −
Grp<-sample(c("I","II","III"),20,replace=TRUE)
df1<-data.frame(Grp)
combn(unique(df1$Grp),2,FUN=paste,collapse=' ')Output
If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
[1] "II III" "II I" "III I"
Example 2
Following snippet creates a sample data frame −
Class<-sample(c("First","Second","Third","Fourth","Fifth"),20,replace=TRUE)
df2<-data.frame(Class)
df2The following dataframe is created
Class 1 Second 2 Fourth 3 Fourth 4 Second 5 Fourth 6 Third 7 Fourth 8 Third 9 First 10 Fifth 11 Second 12 Second 13 Third 14 Second 15 First 16 Second 17 Fourth 18 First 19 Fifth 20 First
To find unique pair combinations for values in column Class of df2 on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −
Class<-sample(c("First","Second","Third","Fourth","Fifth"),20,replace=TRUE)
df2<-data.frame(Class)
combn(unique(df2$Class),2,FUN=paste,collapse=' ')Output
If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
[1] "Second Fourth" "Second Third" "Second First" "Second Fifth" [5] "Fourth Third" "Fourth First" "Fourth Fifth" "Third First" [9] "Third Fifth" "First Fifth"
Example 3
Following snippet creates a sample data frame −
Category<-sample(c("Extra Small","Small","Medium","Large","Extra Large"),20,replace=TRUE)
df3<-data.frame(Category)
df3The following dataframe is created
Category 1 Large 2 Extra Small 3 Extra Small 4 Small 5 Large 6 Extra Small 7 Medium 8 Large 9 Large 10 Extra Large 11 Extra Small 12 Extra Small 13 Extra Small 14 Extra Large 15 Large 16 Extra Small 17 Large 18 Medium 19 Extra Large 20 Extra Large
To find unique pair combinations for values in column Category of df3 on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −
Category<-sample(c("Extra Small","Small","Medium","Large","Extra Large"),20,replace=TRUE)
df3<-data.frame(Category)
combn(unique(df3$Category),2,FUN=paste,collapse=' ')Output
If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
[1] "Large Extra Small" "Large Small" [3] "Large Medium" "Large Extra Large" [5] "Extra Small Small" "Extra Small Medium" [7] "Extra Small Extra Large" "Small Medium" [9] "Small Extra Large" "Medium Extra Large"
