Hi,
I think you could also use this way (via array, see http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/apply-over-list-of-data-frames-td3057968.html)

b <- list()
b[[1]] = matrix(1:4, 2, 2)
b[[2]] = matrix(10:13, 2, 2)
b[[3]] = matrix(20:23, 2, 2)

b.a <- array(unlist(b), dim=c(2, 2, 3))

(b.mean <- apply(X = b.a, MARGIN = c(1, 2), FUN = mean))

(b.sum <- apply(X = b.a, MARGIN = c(1, 2), FUN = sum))

Hi All,

                 Suppose I have data like

b[[1]] = matrix(1:4, 2, 2)
b[[2]] = matrix(10:13, 2, 2)
b[[3]] = matrix(20:23, 2, 2)

[[1]]
      [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    3
[2,]    2    4

[[2]]
      [,1] [,2]
[1,]   10   12
[2,]   11   13

[[3]]
      [,1] [,2]
[1,]   20   22
[2,]   21   23

                 Now I want to calculate the mean of each cell across the list. 
For example mean of (b[[1]][1,1], b[[2]][1,1], b[[3]][1,1]), mean of 
(b[[1]][1,2], b[[2]][1,2], b[[3]][1,2]) etc. e.g. mean of (1, 10, 20), mean 
of(3, 12, 22). Could somebody tell me how to do it? Thank you in advance.
