Hi. This may be avoided, for example M2 <- M M2[, ] <- as.numeric(M >= thresh) or array(as.numeric(M >= thresh), dim=dim(M)) > One more question I have two matrices that only differ slightly.

If A and B are matrices of the same dimension, then A == B is a logical matrix with TRUE entires for positions, where A and B match exactly. abs(A - B) <= eps is a logical matrix with TRUE entires for positions, where A and B differ at most by eps. If you want to get only one logical result, then use all(A == B) for exact equality and all(abs(A - B) <= eps) for approximate equality of all entries. See also ?all.equal, which uses the relative error, not absolute difference. Hope this helps.
