Automates set operations (i.e., comparisons of overlap) between multiple vectors. It also contains a function for automating reporting in 'RMarkdown', by generating markdown output for easy analysis, as well as an 'RMarkdown' template for use with 'RStudio'.
veccompare contains functions for automating set operations. Given a named list of 5 vectors, for example, veccompare can calculate all 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-way comparisons between those vectors, recording information for each comparison about the set "union" (combined elements), "intersection" (overlap / shared elements), and compliments (which elements are unique to each vector involved in the comparison). It can also create Venn diagrams for up to 5-way comparisons, using the VennDiagram package; and network graphs for all 2-way comparisons, using the qgraph package.
The package also contains a function for automating reporting in RMarkdown, by generating markdown output for easy analysis, as well as an RMarkdown template for use with RStudio.
# You can install the development version of veccompare from GitHub:# install.packages("devtools")devtools::install_github("publicus/r-veccompare")The primary function from veccompare is compare.vectors(). Complementarily, compare.vectors.and.return.text.analysis.of.overlap() will call compare.vectors() and generate Markdown-style output from it (for example, for use within an RMarkdown file). veccompare also provides a function, summarize.two.way.comparisons.percentage.overlap(), that can create correlation-plot-style images and network graphs for all two-way comparisons between vectors.
An RMarkdown template illustrating several of veccompare's features can be viewed and used from within RStudio by clicking File -> New File -> R Markdown... -> From Template -> Veccompare Overlap Report.
