isrep.data.frame {probs}

Is Repeated in a Vector Tests for a certain number of repetitions of vals in a given vector x.

Description

Is Repeated in a Vector Tests for a certain number of repetitions of vals in a given vector x.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
isrep(x, ...)

Arguments

x

an object with potential repeated values.

...

further arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

Details

This is a generic function, with methods supplied for data frames and vectors. The default behavior tests for existence of pairs of elements of x. One can test existence of triples, etc., by changing the nrep argument. If there are specific values for which one is looking for repeats, these can be specified with the vals argument. Note that the function only checks for exactly nrep instances, so two pairs of a specific element would be counted as 0 pairs and 1 quadruple. See the examples. The data frame method uses apply to apply isrep.default to each row of the data frame.

Value

Logical.

Examples

x <- c(3,3,2,2,3,3,4,4)
isrep(x)  # one pair each of 2s and 4s
isrep(x, nrep = 4)
isrep(x, vals = 4) # one pair of 4s
