bind function

methods

Combine Two Composition Matrices

## S4 method for signature 'CompositionMatrix,CompositionMatrix'
rbind2(x, y)

## S4 method for signature 'GroupedComposition,GroupedComposition'
rbind2(x, y)

Arguments

• x, y: A CompositionMatrix object.

Returns

A CompositionMatrix objects.

Details

rbind2() combine by rows.

Examples

## Create a data.frame
X <- data.frame(
  samples = c("A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "C", "C", "C"),
  groups = c("X", "X", "X", "X", NA, NA, "Y", "Y", "Y"),
  Ca = c(7.72, 7.32, 3.11, 7.19, 7.41, 5, 4.18, 1, 4.51),
  Fe = c(6.12, 5.88, 5.12, 6.18, 6.02, 7.14, 5.25, 5.28, 5.72),
  Na = c(0.97, 1.59, 1.25, 0.86, 0.76, 0.51, 0.75, 0.52, 0.56)
)

## Coerce to a compositional matrix
Y <- as_composition(X, parts = c("Ca", "Fe", "Na"))

## Split by group
## /!\ Unassigned samples (NA) are discarded ! /!\
(s1 <- split(Y, f = X$groups))

## Better to use grouped matrix
Y <- group(Y, by = X$groups)
(s2 <- group_split(Y))

## Bind by rows
do.call(rbind, s2)
