[R]如何取得非重複的向量或數組? unique()

在數據處理中,去除並取得非重複的數組是一項基本需求。在R語言中,可以用unique函數實現。

簡易範例如下:

x <- c(8-1:5, 4:8, 6+0:5)
y <- unique(x)

#輸出結果
> x
 [1]  7  6  5  4  3  4  5  6  7  8  6  7  8  9 10 11
> y
[1]  7  6  5  4  3  8  9 10 11

在實際數據操作中,例如一個汽車出廠年份和油耗效率的數據集,為了解該數據集統計的年份跨度,亦可善用該函數,範例如下,數據可看出年份跨度為1984~2021年,同時若仔細觀察,可發現沒有1986年的數據,可進一步用排序方式檢查得知。

#data read
ori_data<-read.csv("vehicles.csv",header = T,stringsAsFactors = F)
#Check "year" of vehicles concerned
year_data<-unique(ori_data[,"year"])
first_year<-min(unique(ori_data[,"year"]))
last_year<-max(unique(ori_data[,"year"]))

#輸出結果
> ori_data$year
