You matrix only has 3 rows, so when you do 'apply(data2_1,2,...)' you are extracting columns which only have a length of 3 while thr has a length of 10
> str(data2_1) num [1:3, 1:10] 0.958 0.271 -0.950 -0.130 -0.754 ... > str(thr) num [1:10] 1.060 0.528 0.104 0.925 -0.256 ... > That is why you get the error message of a size mismatch.
