comparelists: Return the intersect, difference and union between 2 vectors

In made4: Multivariate analysis of microarray data using ADE4

Description

This is a very simple function which compares two vectors, x and y. It returns the intersection and unique lists. It is useful for comparing two genelists.

Usage

comparelists(dx,dy, ...)
## S3 method for class 'comparelists'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

dx,dy	A vector.
x	An object from comparelists.
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

reports on the intersect, difference and union between two lists.

Value

An object of class comparelists:

intersect	Vector containing the intersect between x and y
Set.Diff	Vector containing the elements unique to X obtained using setdiff
XinY	Numeric, indicating the number of elements of x in y
YinX	Numeric, indicating the number of elements of y in x
Length.X	Numeric, the number of elements in x
Length.Y	Numeric, the number of elements in y
...	Further arguments passed to or from other methods
