How to do an inner join and outer join of two data frames in R?
An inner join return only the rows in which the left table have matching keys in the right table and an outer join returns all rows from both tables, join records from the left which have matching keys in the right table. This can be done by using merge function.
Example
Inner Join
> df1 = data.frame(CustomerId = c(1:5), Product = c(rep("Biscuit", 3), rep("Cream", 2))) > df1 CustomerId Product 1 1 Biscuit 2 2 Biscuit 3 3 Biscuit 4 4 Cream 5 5 Cream > df2 = data.frame(CustomerId = c(2, 5, 6), City = c(rep("Chicago", 2), rep("NewYorkCity", 1))) > df2 CustomerId City 1 2 Chicago 2 5 Chicago 3 6 NewYorkCity
Inner Join
> merge(x = df1, y = df2) CustomerId Product City 1 2 Biscuit Chicago 2 5 Cream Chicago
Outer Join
> merge(x = df1, y = df2, by = "CustomerId", all = TRUE) CustomerId Product City 1 1 Biscuit <NA> 2 2 Biscuit Chicago 3 3 Biscuit <NA> 4 4 Cream <NA> 5 5 Cream Chicago 6 6 <NA> NewYorkCity
