The error message was coming from the call to colMeans where 'x' was not a matrix; it was a vector that resulted from the 'apply' call. Did you intend to use 'mean' instead like this example:
> data2_1 <- matrix(c(0.9584190, 0.2710325, -0.9495618, -0.1301772, -0.7539687, + 0.5344464, -0.8205933, 0.1581723, -0.5351588, 0.04448065, 0.9936430, + 0.2278786, -0.8160700, -0.3314779, -0.4047975, 0.1168152, -0.7458182, - + 0.2231588, -0.5051651, -0.74871174, 0.9450363, 0.4797723, -0.9033313, - + 0.5825065, 0.8523742, 0.7402795, -0.7134312, -0.8162558, 0.6345438, - + 0.05704138), 3,10) > > num <- apply(data2_1, 2, function(x) {sum(x > (mean(x, na.rm = TRUE) + + 1*sd(x, na.rm = TRUE)), na.rm = TRUE)}) > num [1] 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 > On Feb 5, 2008 8:43 PM, Ng Stanley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I keep getting the error message.
