compress.rle: Compress the 'rle' object by merging adjacent runs

In statnet/rle: Common Functions for Run-Length Encoded Vectors

Compress the rle object by merging adjacent runs

Description

Compress the rle object by merging adjacent runs

Usage

## S3 method for class 'rle'
compress(x, ...)

Arguments

x	an rle object.
...	additional objects; if given, all arguments are concatenated.

Note

Since rle stores run lengths as integers, compress.rle will not merge runs that add up to lengths greater than what can be represented by a 32-bit signed integer (\Sexpr{.Machine$integer.max}).

Examples

x <- rle(as.logical(rbinom(10,1,.7)))
y <- rle(as.logical(rbinom(10,1,.3)))

stopifnot(identical(rle(inverse.rle(x)&inverse.rle(y)),compress(x&y)))

big <- structure(list(lengths=as.integer(rep(.Machine$integer.max/4,6)),
                      values=rep(TRUE,6)), class="rle")

stopifnot(all(aggregate(as.numeric(lengths)~values,
                        data=as.data.frame(unclass(big)),FUN=sum)
              ==
              aggregate(as.numeric(lengths)~values,
                        data=as.data.frame(unclass(compress(big))),
                        FUN=sum)))
