veccompare-package: veccompare: Automatically Generate All n-Wise Set Comparisons...

Description Details Author(s) See Also

Description

The veccompare package contains functions for automating set operations. Given a named list of 5 vectors, for example, veccompare can calculate all 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-way comparisons between those vectors, recording information for each comparison about the set "union" (combined elements), "intersection" (overlap / shared elements), and compliments (which elements are unique to each vector involved in the comparison).

Details

The veccompare package contains functions for automating set operations (i.e., comparisons of overlap) between multiple vectors.

The package also contains a function for automating reporting in RMarkdown, by generating markdown output for easy analysis, as well as an RMarkdown template for use with RStudio.

The primary function from veccompare is compare.vectors. Complementarily, compare.vectors.and.return.text.analysis.of.overlap will call compare.vectors and generate Markdown-style output from it (for example, for use within an RMarkdown file).

An RMarkdown template illustrating several of veccompare's features can be used from within RStudio by clicking File -> New File -> R Markdown... -> From Template -> Veccompare Overlap Report.

veccompare also provides a function, summarize.two.way.comparisons.percentage.overlap, that can create correlation-plot-style images and network graphs for all two-way comparisons between vectors. This function is also demonstrated in the Veccompare Overlap Report described above.
