Combining Matrix Row/Column Names in R: A Step-by-Step Guide
Combining Matrix Row/Column Names in R ===================================================== When working with matrices in R, it’s not uncommon to have multiple matrices that reflect bipartite or affiliation networks at different time points. These matrices often share some overlap in their row and column names, but also exhibit differences. In such cases, combining these matrices into a single matrix with the same dimensions and actors per row/column can be a useful step for further analysis.
