Using BASE R, I wonder how to answer the following question:
Are there any value on X or Y (i.e., variables of interest names) that occurs only in one element in m but not others? If yes, produce my desired output below.
For example:
Here we see X == 4 only occurs in element m[[2]] but not m[[1]] and m[[3]].
Here we also see Y == 99 & 8 only occur in m[[1]] but not others.
Here we also see Y == 6 only occurs in m[[2]] but not others.
Note: the following is a toy example, a functional answer is appreciated. AND X& Y may or may not be numeric (e.g., be string).
f <- data.frame(id = c(rep("AA",4), rep("BB",2), rep("CC",2)), X = c(1,2,2,3,1,4,3,3),
Y = c(99,7,8,7,6,7,7,7))
m <- split(f, f$id) # Here is `m`
mods <- names(f)[-1] # variables of interest names
Desired output:
list(BB = c(X = 4, Y = 6), AA = c(Y = c(99, 8)))
# $BB
# X Y
# 4 6
# $AA
# Y1 Y2 # Would be a plus if shows `Y Y` instead of `Y1 Y2`
# 99 8
