r - Intersecting ranges of consecutive values in logical vectors in R

Question

I have two logical vectors which look like this:

x = c(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
y = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0)

I would like to count the intersections between ranges of consecutive values. Meaning that consecutive values (of 1s) are handled as one range. So in the above example, each vector contains one range of 1s and these ranges intersect only once.

Is there any R package for range intersections which could help here?

我认为这应该有效（调用你的逻辑向量x和y）：

sum(rle(x & y)$values)

几个例子：

x = c(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
y = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0)
sum(rle(x & y)$values)
# [1] 1

x = c(1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
y = c(0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0)
sum(rle(x & y)$values)
# [1] 2

x = c(1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0)
y = c(0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0)
sum(rle(x & y)$values)
# [1] 3

作为解释，x & y给出每个元素级别的交叉点，rle折叠相邻交叉点的运行并sum计数。
