Hi, I have a certain number of character matrices that I want to merge together but unfortunately all the matrices don't have the same number of taxa and characters. However there is always more than one character/taxa in common between each matrix.
I have something like that: Taxa Character1 Character2 Character4 Taxon1 0 0 0 Taxon2 0 0 1 Taxon5 0 1 1 Taxa Character2 Character3 Character5 Taxon3 0 1 1 Taxon4 1 0 1 Taxon5 1 1 1 And I'd like something like that: Taxa Character1 Character2 Character3 Character4 Character5 Taxon1 0 0 ? 0 ? Taxon2 0 0 ? 1 ? Taxon3 ? 0 1 ? 1 Taxon4 ? 1 0 ? 1 Taxon5 0 1 1 1 1 Does someone already worked on this problem on R? The difference R base functions like merge() or aggregate() don't do the job unfortunately. Thanks, Thomas. ================ Thomas Guillerme Trinity Postgraduate Research Studentship Macroecology and Macroevolution Research Group Zoology Department School of Natural Sciences Trinity College Dublin 2 College Green, Dublin 2 guill...@tcd.ie @TGuillerme +353877021326 http://www.tcd.ie/Zoology/research/ncooper/people.php [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-sig-phylo mailing list - R-sig-phylo@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-phylo Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-phylo@r-project.org/
