Replacing colMeans by mean removed the warning messages. Thanks

However, when I precompute thr, and pass it to function(x), the error
returns. Using the shorter data2_1, doesn't give any warnings. What is
happening ?

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)
# data2_1 <- matrix(c(0.9584190, 0.2710325, -0.9495618, -0.1301772, -
0.7539687, 0.5344464, -0.8205933, 0.1581723, -0.5351588), 3,3)

thr <- colMeans(data2_1, na.rm = TRUE) + sd(data2_1, na.rm = TRUE)

num <- apply(data2_1, 2, function(x) {
    sum(x > (thr), na.rm = TRUE)
})
