从具有重复元素的向量生成所有唯一组合 [英] Generate all unique combinations from a vector with repeating elements

问题描述

以前曾问过这个问题，但仅针对具有非重复元素的向量.我找不到一个简单的解决方案来从具有重复元素的向量中获取所有组合.为了说明，我在下面列出了一个示例.

This questions was asked previously but only for vectors with non-repeating elements. I was not able to find an easy solution to get all combinations from a vector with repeating elements. To illustrate I listed an example below.

x <- c('red', 'blue', 'green', 'red', 'green', 'red')

向量x对于红色"具有3个重复元素，对于绿色"具有2个重复元素.所有唯一组合的预期结果将是这样.

Vector x has 3 repeating elements for 'red' and 2 for 'green'. The expected outcome for all unique combinations would be like this.

# unique combinations with one element
'red'
'blue'
'green'
# unique combination with two elements
'red', 'blue' # same as 'blue','red'
'red', 'green' 
'red', 'red'
'blue', 'green'
'green', 'green'
# unique combination with three elements
'red', 'blue', 'green'
'red', 'red', 'blue'
'red', 'red', 'green'
'red', 'red', 'red' # This is valid because there are three 'red's
'green', 'green', 'red'
'green', 'green', 'blue'
# more unique combinations with four, five, and six elements

推荐答案

结合使用combn()和lapply()应该可以解决问题.

Use combn() with lapply() should do the trick.

x <- c('red', 'blue', 'green', 'red', 'green', 'red')

lapply(1:3, function(y) combn(x, y))

# [[1]]
     # [,1]  [,2]   [,3]    [,4]  [,5]    [,6] 
# [1,] "red" "blue" "green" "red" "green" "red"

# [[2]]
     # [,1]   [,2]    [,3]  [,4]    [,5]  [,6]    ...
# [1,] "red"  "red"   "red" "red"   "red" "blue"  ...
# [2,] "blue" "green" "red" "green" "red" "green" ...

# [[3]]
     # [,1]    [,2]   [,3]    [,4]   [,5]    [,6]    ...
# [1,] "red"   "red"  "red"   "red"  "red"   "red"   ...
# [2,] "blue"  "blue" "blue"  "blue" "green" "green" ...
# [3,] "green" "red"  "green" "red"  "red"   "green" ...

所有唯一组合

lapply(cc, function(y)
  y[,!duplicated(apply(y, 2, paste, collapse="."))]
)

[[1]]
[1] "red"   "blue"  "green"

[[2]]
     [,1]   [,2]    [,3]  [,4]    [,5]   [,6]    [,7]   
[1,] "red"  "red"   "red" "blue"  "blue" "green" "green"
[2,] "blue" "green" "red" "green" "red"  "red"   "green"

[[3]]
     [,1]    [,2]   [,3]    [,4]    [,5]    [,6]  [,7]    ...
[1,] "red"   "red"  "red"   "red"   "red"   "red" "blue"  ...
[2,] "blue"  "blue" "green" "green" "red"   "red" "green" ...
[3,] "green" "red"  "red"   "green" "green" "red" "red"   ...

尽管严格说来，它们并不是唯一的组合，因为其中一些是彼此置换的.

Although strictly speaking those aren't all unique combinations, as some of them are permutations of each other.

正确唯一的组合

lapply(cc, function(y)
  y[,!duplicated(apply(y, 2, function(z) paste(sort(z), collapse=".")))]
)

# [[1]]
# [1] "red"   "blue"  "green"

# [[2]]
     # [,1]   [,2]    [,3]  [,4]    [,5]   
# [1,] "red"  "red"   "red" "blue"  "green"
# [2,] "blue" "green" "red" "green" "green"

# [[3]]
     # [,1]    [,2]   [,3]    [,4]    [,5]  [,6]   
# [1,] "red"   "red"  "red"   "red"   "red" "blue" 
# [2,] "blue"  "blue" "green" "green" "red" "green"
# [3,] "green" "red"  "red"   "green" "red" "green"
