[R] Finding all overlaps between two sets of 1-Dimensional regions

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

maybe something like this could work in your case:

set1 <- t(apply(matrix(rnorm(20), 10, 2), 1, sort))
set2 <- t(apply(matrix(rnorm(10), 5, 2), 1, sort))
########################
set1. <- apply(set1, 1, rev)
apply(set2, 1, function(x) apply(set1. <= x, 2, any))


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
