different values of a vector

[Arnau Mir Torres-3]

Hello.

I have a vector of length 2771 but it has only 87 different values.
How can I obtain them?

Thanks,

Arnau.

If you just want the unique values themselves, you can use:

  unique(vector)

For example:

> v
 [1] "b" "b" "c" "a" "a" "a" "c" "c" "c" "c"

> unique(v)
[1] "b" "c" "a"


If you wanted counts of each unique value, you can use table():

> table(v)
v
a b c
3 2 5

It depends on what obtain means. This should get you started.
foo <- sample(1:87,2771,T)
table(foo) #or...
levels(as.factor(foo))
