comparelists: Return the intersect, difference and union between 2 vectors

Description

This is a very simple function which compares two vectors, x and y. It returns the intersection and unique lists. It is useful for comparing two genelists.

Usage

comparelists(dx,dy, ...)
"print"(x, ...)

Arguments

dx,dy

A vector.

x

An object from comparelists.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

An object of class comparelists:

intersect

Vector containing the intersect between x and y

Set.Diff

Vector containing the elements unique to X obtained using setdiff

XinY

Numeric, indicating the number of elements of x in y

YinX

Numeric, indicating the number of elements of y in x

Length.X

Numeric, the number of elements in x

Length.Y

Numeric, the number of elements in y

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods
