Hi Gerrit, Almost it but I need to insert M[,i] as well as (matrix( -1, nrow( M), CN[i]) when CN[i] = 0
I know this is not correct but can something like the following be done? HH <- c(0.88, 0.72, 0.89, 0.93, 1.23, 0.86, 0.98, 0.85, 1.23) TT <- c(7.14, 7.14, 7.49, 8.14, 7.14, 7.32, 7.14, 7.14, 7.14) c <- c(0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0) TMP <- lapply( seq(c), function( i, CN, M) { if( CN[i] == 0) as.matrix( M[, i]) else (matrix( -1, nrow( M), CN[i]) && as.matrix( M[, i])) }, CN = c, M = rbind( HH, TT)) do.call( cbind, TMP) Doug -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Create-Arrays-tp2996706p2997060.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.
