一种相对快速处理长向量并提供方便输出的方法是使用长度(split(numbers, numbers))(注意长度后面的S):

# Make some integer vectors of different sizes
set.seed(123)
x <- sample.int(1e3, 1e4, replace = TRUE)
xl <- sample.int(1e3, 1e6, replace = TRUE)
xxl <-sample.int(1e3, 1e7, replace = TRUE)

# Number of times each value appears in x:
a <- lengths(split(x,x))

# Number of times the value 64 appears:
a["64"]
#~ 64
#~ 15

# Occurences of the first 10 values
a[1:10]
#~ 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 
#~ 13 12  6 14 12  5 13 14 11 14 

输出只是一个命名向量。 速度似乎可以与JBecker提出的rle相媲美，甚至在非常长的向量上更快。下面是R 3.6.2中的一个微基准测试，其中包含了一些提议的功能:

library(microbenchmark)

f1 <- function(vec) lengths(split(vec,vec))
f2 <- function(vec) table(vec)
f3 <- function(vec) rle(sort(vec))
f4 <- function(vec) plyr::count(vec)

microbenchmark(split = f1(x),
               table = f2(x),
               rle = f3(x),
               plyr = f4(x))

microbenchmark(split = f1(xl),
               table = f2(xl),
               rle = f3(xl),
               plyr = f4(xl))

microbenchmark(split = f1(xxl),
               table = f2(xxl),
               rle = f3(xxl),
               plyr = f4(xxl))

重要的是，唯一计算缺失值NA数量的函数是plyr::count。这些也可以使用sum(is.na(vec))单独获得。

最直接的方法是求和(numbers == x)。

numbers == x创建一个在x出现的每个位置都为TRUE的逻辑向量，当求和时，逻辑向量被强制转换为numeric，将TRUE转换为1,FALSE转换为0。

但是，请注意，对于浮点数，最好使用如下格式:sum(abs(numbers - x) < 1e-6)。

计算特定元素有不同的方法

library(plyr)
numbers =c(4,23,4,23,5,43,54,56,657,67,67,435,453,435,7,65,34,435)

print(length(which(numbers==435)))

#Sum counts number of TRUE's in a vector 
print(sum(numbers==435))
print(sum(c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE)))

#count is present in plyr library 
#o/p of count is a DataFrame, freq is 1 of the columns of data frame
print(count(numbers[numbers==435]))
print(count(numbers[numbers==435])[['freq']])

也有计数(数字)从plyr包。在我看来，比餐桌方便多了。
