rle {base} | R Documentation |
Compute the lengths and values of runs of equal values in a vector – or the reverse operation.
rle(x) inverse.rle(x, ...) ## S3 method for class 'rle' print(x, digits = getOption("digits"), prefix = "", ...)
x |
a vector (atomic, not a list) for |
... |
further arguments; ignored here. |
digits |
number of significant digits for printing, see
|
prefix |
character string, prepended to each printed line. |
‘vector’ is used in the sense of is.vector
.
Missing values are regarded as unequal to the previous value, even if that is also missing.
inverse.rle()
is the inverse function of rle()
,
reconstructing x
from the runs.
rle()
returns an object of class "rle"
which is a list
with components:
lengths |
an integer vector containing the length of each run. |
values |
a vector of the same length as |
inverse.rle()
returns an atomic vector.
