Non-Equi Joins with Data Tables and Fuzzy Join In this article, we will explore two methods for performing non-equi joins in R. The first method uses the data.table package to assign new values to a data frame based on conditions specified by another data frame. We will also discuss the fuzzyjoin package as an alternative solution. Introduction Non-equi joins are a type of join that does not meet the condition of equality between two columns, unlike inner or outer joins.

Removing Rows Following a Missing Value in a Sequence In this article, we’ll explore how to remove rows from a sequence that follow a missing value and where the difference between consecutive values is not 1.
