Hi,
I have a problem in which i am having trouble vectorizing a snippet of
my code to avoid a for loop. A basic example of what I'm trying to do
is below.
#simple example of problem
x = c(1,1,3,3,6,7,8,8,9)
# I create a vector that contains the unique values of x
y = unique(x)
y = c(1,3,6,7,8,9)
#### Now I want to create a vector, say z, in which has the same length
of y, but counts how many repetitions occurred for x.
## I want
z = c(2,2,1,1,2,1)
## The only way I've been able to think about this problem is in terms
of a for/while loop to generate z. I'm having trouble thinking on this one.
If someone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate this.
Carlos
