funique is a substantially faster alternative to unique. It is generic with a default vector and a data frame methods.
funique(x, …)# S3 method for default
funique(x, sort = FALSE, method = "auto", …)
# S3 method for data.frame
funique(x, cols = NULL, sort = FALSE, method = "auto", …)
# S3 method for sf
funique(x, cols = NULL, sort = FALSE, method = "auto", …)
a atomic vector or data frame / list of equal-length columns.
logical. TRUE orders the unique elements / rows. FALSE returns unique values in order of first occurrence.
an integer or character string specifying the method of computation:
| Int. | String | Description | ||
| 1 | "auto" | automatic selection: hash if sort = FALSE else radix. |
||
| 2 | "radix" | use radix ordering to determine unique values. Supports sort = FALSE but only for character data. |
||
| 3 | "hash" | use index hashing to determine unique values. Supports sort = TRUE but only for atomic vectors (default method). |
compute unique rows according to a subset of columns. Columns can be selected using column names, indices, a logical vector or a selector function (e.g. is.character). Note: All columns are returned.
arguments passed to radixorderv, e.g. decreasing or na.last. Only applicable if method = "radix".
x with duplicate elements/rows removed.
If x is a data frame / list and all rows are already unique, then x is returned. Otherwise a copy of x with duplicate rows removed is returned. See group for some additional computational details.
The sf method simply ignores the geometry column when determining unique values.
