Is there some (much) more efficient way to do this? VECTOR=c(3,2,4,5,5,3,3,5,1,6,6); NEWVECTOR=VECTOR[1];
for(i in 1:(length(VECTOR)-1)) { if((identical(VECTOR[i], VECTOR[i+1]))==FALSE){ NEWVECTOR=c(NEWVECTOR,VECTOR[i+1])} } > VECTOR [1] 3 2 4 5 5 3 3 5 1 6 6 > NEWVECTOR [1] 3 2 4 5 3 5 1 6 _______________________________ Atte Tenkanen University of Turku, Finland ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
