How to compare three lists?

AnushaAnusha Member Posts: 19 Maven
Hi All!

I have a data set that has 3 columns. these 3 columns are having a list of words. I need to compare one list with 2 other lists(master lists) and get the count of words belongs list1 and list2. list1 and list2 are having unique words as master lists. list3 has words that belong to list1 and list2.


sample data:

list1                                                  list2                                             list3

shape,size,whole                    type,diff,lit                                          shape,lit
hole,jio,kit                                 pen,tilm,mil                                         pen,mil




Required output:

list1                                                  list2                                             list3                                 count_list1               count_list2

shape,size,whole                    type,diff,lit                                          shape,lit                                  1                              1
hole,jio,kit                                 pen,tilm,mil                                         pen,kit                                   0                               2


here list3 has
i. "shape","kit": "shape" is available in list1 so, count of list1 is "1" and "lit" is available in list2 so, the count_list2 is "1"
ii. "pen","kit" :   "pen" and "kit" are avaialble in list2, the count_list2 is "2" and count_list1 is "0" because none of the words belongs to list1.


could anyone help me in resolving this?

Thanks in Advance!

    Hi,

    I don't have a ready-made solution, but a few pointers.
    You could use the Split operator to create attributes like list1_1, list1_2, list1_3 etc. with the unique words in the lists.
    Then Loop Attributes on list2_.+ and list3_.+ (regular expression selectors) and inside that Generate Attributes that compares the current attribute value to the reference list and increases the count if there's a match.

    Regards,
    Balázs

    Thanks @BalazsBarany..

    I'm doing loop attributes on list3 after the split and checking with if(contains(list1,%{loop attribute}),1,0) but it's throwing error "Not enough iterations". unable to resolve this

    could you please help me?

    Hi @Anusha

    it is a property of many RapidMiner loops that they throw an exception if the input is empty.

    The solution for this problem is using Handle Exception around the loop. 

    Just put the loop into the left part of the exception handler and connect the input with the output on the right side.
