This is a data structure that compactly stores the presence of integers in some finite set (max_size), and can efficiently perform set operations (union, intersection, complement, symmetric difference, set difference). WARNING: All operations are in-place so please use $copy if you would like to perform an operation without destroying your current bitset.

This class is defined as a named list for performance reasons, but for most intents and purposes it behaves just like an R6 class.

Methods


Method new()

create a bitset.

Usage

Bitset$new(size, from)

Arguments

size

the size of the bitset.

from

pointer to an existing IterableBitset to use; if NULL make empty bitset, otherwise copy existing bitset.


Method insert()

insert into the bitset.

Usage

b$insert(v)

Arguments

v

an integer vector of elements to insert.


Method remove()

remove from the bitset.

Usage

b$remove(v)

Arguments

v

an integer vector of elements (not indices) to remove.


Method clear()

clear the bitset.

Usage

b$clear()


Method size()

get the number of elements in the set.

Usage

b$size()


Method or()

to "bitwise or" or union two bitsets.

Usage

b$or(other)

Arguments

other

the other bitset.


Method and()

to "bitwise and" or intersect two bitsets.

Usage

b$and(other)

Arguments

other

the other bitset.


Method not()

to "bitwise not" or complement a bitset.

Usage

b$not(inplace)

Arguments

inplace

whether to overwrite the current bitset, default = TRUE


Method xor()

to "bitwise xor" get the symmetric difference of two bitset (keep elements in either bitset but not in their intersection).

Usage

b$xor(other)

Arguments

other

the other bitset.


Method set_difference()

Take the set difference of this bitset with another (keep elements of this bitset which are not in other)

Usage

b$set_difference(other)

Arguments

other

the other bitset.


Method sample()

sample a bitset.

Usage

b$sample(rate)

Arguments

rate

the success probability for keeping each element, can be a single value for all elements or a vector of unique probabilities for keeping each element.


Method choose()

choose k random items in the bitset.

Usage

b$choose(k)

Arguments

k

the number of items in the bitset to keep. The selection of these k items from N total items in the bitset is random, and k should be chosen such that \(0 \le k \le N\).


Method copy()

returns a copy of the bitset.

Usage

b$copy()


Method to_vector()

return an integer vector of the elements stored in this bitset.

Usage

b$to_vector()
