combinatoricsCount.Rd
Calculate the number of combinations/permutations of a vector chosen \(m\) at a time with or without replacement. Additionally, these functions can calculate the number of combinations/permutations of multisets.
comboCount(v, m = NULL, ...)
permuteCount(v, m = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for default
comboCount(v, m = NULL, repetition = FALSE, freqs = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for default
permuteCount(v, m = NULL, repetition = FALSE, freqs = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for table
comboCount(v, m = NULL, ...)
# S3 method for table
permuteCount(v, m = NULL, ...)
Source vector. If v
is a positive integer, it will be converted to the sequence 1:v
. If v
is a negative integer, it will be converted to the sequence v:-1
. All atomic types are supported (See is.atomic
).
Number of elements to choose. If repetition = TRUE
or freqs
is utilized, m
can exceed the length of v
. If m = NULL
, the length will default to length(v)
or sum(freqs)
.
Further arguments passed to methods.
Logical value indicating whether combinations/permutations should be with or without repetition. The default is FALSE
.
A vector of frequencies used for producing all combinations/permutations of a multiset of v
. Each element of freqs
represents how many times each element of the source vector, v
, is repeated. It is analogous to the times
argument in rep
. The default value is NULL
.
A numerical value representing the total number of combinations/permutations.
When the number of results exceeds \(2^{53} - 1\), a number of class bigz
is returned.
## Same interface as the respective "general" functions:
## i.e. comboGeneral & permuteGeneral
permuteCount(-5)
#> [1] 120
permuteCount(5)
#> [1] 120
comboCount(25, 12)
#> [1] 5200300
permuteCount(15, 7, TRUE)
#> [1] 170859375
comboCount(25, 12, freqs = rep(2, 25))
#> [1] 458917850
## Return object of class 'bigz'
comboCount(250, 15, freqs = rep(2, 250))
#> Big Integer ('bigz') :
#> [1] 1035444613157684247678300
