Description

Column bind by rownames

Usage

cbindByRownames(..., type = c("intersect", "union"))
rbindByColnames(..., type = c("intersect", "union"))

Value

A matrix

Arguments

...

Two or more matrices, or a list of matrices.

type

Character string, how are row names that are not shared by all items handled, either intersect (intersect are kept) or union (union is used, NA is inserted whenever necessary)

Examples

mat1 <- matrix(1:9, nrow=3, byrow=FALSE,
               dimnames=list(LETTERS[1:3], LETTERS[1:3]))
mat2 <- matrix(1:9, nrow=3, byrow=FALSE,
               dimnames=list(LETTERS[2:4], LETTERS[4:6]))
mat3 <- matrix(1:9, nrow=3, byrow=FALSE,
               dimnames=list(LETTERS[c(2,4,5)], LETTERS[7:9]))
cbindByRownames(mat1, mat2, mat3, type="intersect")
cbindByRownames(mat1, mat2, mat3, type="union")
## it is also possible to pass a list
cbindByRownames(list(mat1, mat2, mat3), type="union")
mat4 <- matrix(1:9, nrow=3, byrow=FALSE,
               dimnames=list(LETTERS[1:3], LETTERS[1:3]))
mat5 <- matrix(1:9, nrow=3, byrow=FALSE,
               dimnames=list(LETTERS[4:6], LETTERS[2:4]))
mat6 <- matrix(1:9, nrow=3, byrow=TRUE,
               dimnames=list(LETTERS[7:9], LETTERS[c(2,4,6)]))
rbindByColnames(mat4, mat5, mat6, type="intersect")
rbindByColnames(mat4, mat5, mat6,  type="union")
## it is also possible to pass a list
rbindByColnames(list(mat4, mat5, mat6), type="union")
