Please give a reproducible example. Here is one way : # generate example > v1 <- rep( c(0, 2, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15), c(15, 6, 1, 3, 8, 15, 10) ) > t1 <- table(v1) > t1 v1 0 2 10 11 13 14 15 15 6 1 3 8 15 10
> v2 <- rep( c(0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15), c(817, 119, 524, 96, 700, 66, 559, 358, 283) ) > t2 <- table(v2) > t2 v2 0 1 2 10 11 12 13 14 15 817 119 524 96 700 66 559 358 283 # find results > merge(t1, t2, by=1, all.x=TRUE) v1 Freq.x Freq.y 1 0 15 817 2 10 1 96 3 11 3 700 4 13 8 559 5 14 15 358 6 15 10 283 7 2 6 524 Uwe's suggestion may need a slight modification as the two table have different labels/levels and hence non-conformable for division > t2.f <- table( v2.f <- factor(v2) ) > t1.f <- table( v1.f <- factor(v1, levels=levels(v2.f)) ) > cbind( t1.f, t2.f, ratio=t1.f / t2.f ) t1.f t2.f ratio 0 15 817 0.018359853 1 0 119 0.000000000 2 6 524 0.011450382 10 1 96 0.010416667 11 3 700 0.004285714 12 0 66 0.000000000 13 8 559 0.014311270 14 15 358 0.041899441 15 10 283 0.035335689 > Also have a look at this related posting http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/06/0594.html Regards, Adai.
