get.venn.partitions: Get the size of individual partitions in a Venn diagram

Description

Partitions a list into Venn regions.

Usage

get.venn.partitions(x, force.unique = TRUE, keep.elements = TRUE,
  hierarchical = FALSE)

Arguments

A list of vectors.

force.unique

A logical value. Should only unique values be considered?

keep.elements

A logical value. Should the elements in each region be returned?

hierarchical

A logical value. Changed the way overlapping elements are treated if force.unique is TRUE.

Value

A data frame with length(x) columns and 2 ^ length(x) rows. The first length(x) columns are all logical; see make.truth.table for more details. There are three additional columns:

..set..: A set theoretical desription of the Venn region. (Note that in some locales under Windows, the data.frame print method fails to correctly display the Unicode symbols for set union and set intersection. This is a bug in R, not this function.)
..values..: A vector of values contained in the Venn region. Not returned if keep.elements is FALSE.
..count..: An integer of the number of values in the Venn region.

Details

If force.unique is FALSE, then there are two supported methods of grouping categories with duplicated elements in common. If hierarchical is FALSE, then any common elements are gathered into a pool. So if x <- list(a = c(1,1,2,2,3,3), b=c(1,2,3,4,4,5), c=c(1,4)) then (b intersect c)/(a) would contain three 4's. Since the 4's are pooled, (b)/(a union c) contains no 4's. If hierachical is TRUE, then (b intersect c)/(a) would contain one 4.Then (b)/(a union c) cotains one 4.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
# Compare force.unique options
x <- list(a = c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3), b = c(2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4))
get.venn.partitions(x)
get.venn.partitions(x, force.unique = FALSE)
