intersect: Intersection of Subsets

Description

Calculates the intersection of subsets of a probability space. Comparisons are made row-wise, so that in the data frame case, intersect(A,B) is a data frame with those rows that are both in A and in B.

Usage

intersect(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'default':
intersect(x, y, \ldots)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame':
intersect(x, y, \ldots)

## S3 method for class 'ps':
intersect(x, y, \ldots)

Arguments

x, y

vectors, data frames, or ps objects containing a sequence of elements (conceptually).

...

further arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

Value

• A vector, data frame, or subset of a probability space of the same type as its arguments.

Details

This is a generic function, extended from the intersect function in the base package. The elements of intersect(x,y) are those elements in x and in y. The original definition is preserved in the case that x and y are vectors of the same mode.

A <- subset(S, suit == "Heart")
B <- subset(S, rank == "A" )
