keypos: Extract Positions in redundant dimension table

In bit64: A S3 Class for Vectors of 64bit Integers

Extract Positions in redundant dimension table

Description

keypos returns the positions of the (fact table) elements that participate in their sorted unique subset (dimension table)

Usage

keypos(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'integer64'
keypos(x, method = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	a vector or a data frame or an array or NULL.
...	ignored
method	NULL for automatic method selection or a suitable low-level method, see details

Details

NAs are sorted first in the dimension table, see ramorder.integer64().

This function automatically chooses from several low-level functions considering the size of x and the availability of a cache.

Suitable methods are

• sortorderkey (fast ordering)

• orderkey (memory saving ordering).

Value

an integer vector of the same length as x containing positions relative to sort(unique(x), na.last=FALSE)

See Also

unique.integer64() for the unique subset and match.integer64() for finding positions in a different vector.

Examples

x <- as.integer64(sample(c(rep(NA, 9), 1:9), 32, TRUE))
keypos(x)
