I have a position index vector in data.frame objects, but in each data.frame object, the order of the position index vector is very different. However, I want to integrate / merge the object object.frame object into one common data.frame file with a very specific order and avoid duplication in it. Does anyone know of any trick to make this easier? Can anyone suggest a possible approach how to accomplish this task?
data
v1 <- data.frame(
foo=c(1,2,3),
bar=c(1,2,2),
bleh=c(1,3,0))
v2 <- data.frame(
bar=c(1,2,3),
foo=c(1,2,0),
bleh=c(3,3,4))
v3 <- data.frame(
bleh=c(1,2,3,4),
foo=c(1,1,2,0),
bar=c(0,1,2,3))
initial result after their integration:
initial_output <- data.frame(
foo=c(1,2,3,1,2,0,1,1,2,0),
bar=c(1,2,2,1,2,3,0,1,2,3),
bleh=c(1,3,0,3,3,4,1,2,3,4)
)
remove duplication
rmDuplicate_output <- data.frame(
foo=c(1,2,3,1,0,1,1),
bar=c(1,2,2,1,3,0,1),
bleh=c(1,3,0,3,4,1,2)
)
final desired result:
final_output <- data.frame(
foo=c(1,1,1,1,2,3,0),
bar=c(0,1,1,1,2,2,3),
bleh=c(1,1,2,3,3,0,4)
)
How can I get my final desired result? Is there an efficient way for this kind of manipulation for a data.frame object? Thanks
