I want to combine / join two matrices, a small one with values should correspond to a larger one by name / colnames. I find this answer. However, I cannot match the locations, since in my case the code line is frn <- as.matrix(bigMatrix[[1]])not working. The answers of internal, external ... join did not help here , since I want to combine / combine many different columns (and not, for example, CostumerID for X and CustomerID for y).
As matrices, I use 126x104 and 193x193 matrices. I prepared data examples: 1. a large matrix, into which a smaller one should be added (letters are indicated in the names of the source data):
a = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F")
full_matrix = matrix(nrow = length(a), ncol=length(a))
dimnames(full_matrix) <- list(levels(as.factor(a)), levels(as.factor(a)))
full_matrix
A B C D E F
A NA NA NA NA NA NA
B NA NA NA NA NA NA
C NA NA NA NA NA NA
D NA NA NA NA NA NA
E NA NA NA NA NA NA
F NA NA NA NA NA NA
And a smaller matrix:
matrix = matrix(c(2, 4, 3, 1, 5, 7, 3, 1, 6), nrow=3, ncol=3)
dimnames(matrix) <- list(c("B","C","E"), c("A","B","F"))
matrix
A B F
B 2 1 3
C 4 5 1
E 3 7 6
The result should look like this:
A B C D E F
A NA NA NA NA NA NA
B 2 1 NA NA NA 3
C 4 5 NA NA NA 1
D NA NA NA NA NA NA
E 3 7 NA NA NA 6
F NA NA NA NA NA NA
