Hi, I have a matrix that looks like this
a <- c(1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3) b <- c(2,2,2,3,4,4,4,5,5,6) c <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) M <- matrix(nr=10,nc=3) M[,1] <- a M[,2] <- b M[,3] <- c > M [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 2 1 [2,] 1 2 2 [3,] 1 2 3 [4,] 1 3 4 [5,] 2 4 5 [6,] 2 4 6 [7,] 3 4 7 [8,] 3 5 8 [9,] 3 5 9 [10,] 3 6 10 I want to reduce the matrix according to the following: If the values of the two first columns are the same in two or more rows the values in the third column of the corresponding rows should be added and only one of the rows should be keept. Hence the matrix M above should look like this 1 2 6 1 3 4 2 4 11 3 4 7 3 5 17 3 6 10 Thank you Henrik -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Aggregate-certain-rows-in-a-matrix-tp2528454p2528454.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
