all_groups_identical: Test if two grouping factors contain the same groups

In groupdata2: Creating Groups from Data

Test if two grouping factors contain the same groups

Description

\Sexpr[results=rd, stage=render]{lifecycle::badge("maturing")}

Checks whether two grouping factors contain the same groups, looking only at the group members, allowing for different group names / identifiers.

Usage

all_groups_identical(x, y)

Arguments

x, y	Two grouping factors (vectors/factors with group identifiers) to compare. N.B. Both are converted to character vectors.

Details

Both factors are sorted by `x`. A grouping factor is created with new groups starting at the values in `y` which differ from the previous row (i.e. group() with method = "l_starts" and n = "auto"). A similar grouping factor is created for `x`, to have group identifiers range from 1 to the number of groups. The two generated grouping factors are tested for equality.

Value

Whether all groups in `x` are the same in `y`, memberwise. (logical)

Examples

# Attach groupdata2
library(groupdata2)

# Same groups, different identifiers
x1 <- c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3)
x2 <- c(2, 2, 1, 1, 4, 4)
all_groups_identical(x1, x2) # TRUE

# Same groups, different identifier types
x1 <- c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3)
x2 <- c("a", "a", "b", "b", "c", "c")
all_groups_identical(x1, x2) # TRUE

# Not same groups
# Note that all groups must be the same to return TRUE
x1 <- c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3)
x2 <- c(1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3)
all_groups_identical(x1, x2) # FALSE

# Different number of groups
x1 <- c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3)
x2 <- c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2)
all_groups_identical(x1, x2) # FALSE
