计算元素按顺序重复的次数(以 R 为单位)

Question

我有一系列事件，编码为A，B和C。对于每个元素，我需要计算该元素以前重复了多少次。例如：

x<-c('A','A','A','B','C','C','A','B','A','C')
y<-c(0,1,2,0,0,1,0,0,0,0)
cbind(x,y)
     x   y  
[1,] "A" "0"
[2,] "A" "1"
[3,] "A" "2"
[4,] "B" "0"
[5,] "C" "0"
[6,] "C" "1"
[7,] "A" "0"
[8,] "B" "0"
[9,] "A" "0"
[10,] "C" "0"

我需要从 x 生成 y 列。

Answer 1

使用 rle 和 sequence 的组合：

> sequence(rle(x)$lengths)-1
 [1] 0 1 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
