[R] Complicated analysis for huge databases

[Boris Steipe]

Combine columns 1 and 2 into a column with a single ID like "33.55", "44.66" and use split() on these IDs to break up your dataset. Iterate over the list of data frames split() returns.

The third column is customers IDs where each customer had a combination of meals. Each column of the rest columns contains values 0,1,or 2. The dataset is organised in a way so that the first group of customers had similar meals combinations, this is followed by another group of customers with similar meals combinations but different from the first group and so on. The dataset looks like this :-
