I have two matrices, generated by R functions that I don't understand. I want to confirm that they're the same, but I know that they have different attributes.
If I want to compare the dimnames, I can say > identical(attr(tm, "dimnames"), attr(tmm, "dimnames")) [1] FALSE or even: > identical(dimnames(tm), dimnames(tmm)) [1] FALSE But I can't find any good way to compare the "main" part of objects. What I'm doing now is: > tm_new <- tm > tmm_new <- tmm > attributes(tm_new) <- attributes(tmm_new) <- NULL > identical(tm_new, tmm_new) [1] TRUE But that seems very inaesthetic, besides requiring that I create two pointless objects. I have read ?attributes, ?attr and some web introductions to how R objects work, but have not found an answer. Thanks for any help. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
