Count set intersections
Create a list of set intersections from a matrix of indicators
makeIntersectList(x,xnames=NULL,sep="+")
x |
A data frame or matrix where rows represent objects and columns attributes. A 1 or TRUE indicates that the object (row) has that attribute or is a member of that set (column). x can also be a matrix or data frame in which the first column contains object identifiers and the second contains attribute codes. |
xnames |
Optional user-supplied names for the attributes of x. |
sep |
A character to use as a separator for attribute labels. |
makeIntersectList reads a matrix (or data frame where all values are the same type) containing dichotomous values (either 0/1 or FALSE/TRUE) or labels (see next paragraph). In the first type of input, each row represents an object and each column represents a set. A value of 1 or TRUE indicates that that object is a member of that set. The function creates a list of vectors that correspond to all combinations of the sets (set intersections) and inserts the counts of elements in each combination. If a row of x is all zeros, it will not be counted, but the second last element of the list returned contains the count of rows in x and thus non-members can be calculated.
If a matrix (or data frame where all values are the same type) containing values other than 0/1 or TRUE/FALSE, it will be passed to categoryReshape for conversion to a data frame as described above. See categoryReshape for details of this.
makeIntersectList combines the set or attribute names to form intersection names. For the intersection of sets A and B, the name will be A+B (unless sep is changed) and so on. These are the names that will be displayed by intersectDiagram. To change these, use the xnames argument.
A list of the intersection counts or percentages, the total number of objects and the attribute codes.
