> I have a set of data like the following:

      [,1]  [,2]
[1,]   10    2 ...
[10,]  19    5

I'd like to aggregate it in order to obtain the frequency (the number of occurences) for each couple of values (e.g.: (10,2) appears twice, (7,0) appears once). Something cool would be to have this value in a third column...
I've been looking at aggregate() but either I couldn't get the right parameters, or this is not the right tool to use...


You can use:

x=paste(a[,1],a[,2],sep=",")
table(x)

then, if you need to have the count for each line from the original table:

 table(x)[x]

Or you could indeed use the 'aggregate' function:

 aggregate(a[,1],list(a[,1],a[,2]),length)

This yields one line per unique value (but that may be what you want...)
