This function matches the indices of two numeric vectors as good as possible (that means with the smallest possible sum of absolute deviations).

Usage

match_numerics(x, y)

Arguments

x, y

[numeric()]
Two vectors of the same length without missing values.

Value

An integer vector of length length(x) with the positions of y in x.
