Make a table of string frequency
I am trying to make a summary table of many strings. My data looks like this:
x<-c("a", "a", "b", "c", "c", "c", "d")
How would I analyse the recurrence of each string at once? Ideally to produce a table of frequency like this (I presume it would be easy to sort for decreasing frequency):
"a" 2
"b" 1
"c" 3
"d" 1
Answer
Use this to make the frecuency table:
table(x)
To sort just use sort.
sort(table(x), decreasing = TRUE)
Hope that helps
