Hi, You may also try: mat: data lst1<-lapply(split(mat,col(mat)),function(x) {x1<- which(x>=0.8*max(x));x2<- which.max(x);x1[abs(x1-x2)==1|length(x)-abs(x1-x2)==1]<-NA;rbind(index=x1[!is.na(x1)],values=x[x1[!is.na(x1)]])}) names(lst1)<-NULL
lst2<-apply(mat,2,function(x) do.call(rbind,fun2(x))) #Rui's function identical(lst1,lst2) #[1] TRUE A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: eliza botto <eliza_bo...@hotmail.com> To: Berend Hasselman <b...@xs4all.nl> Cc: "r-help@r-project.org" <r-help@r-project.org> Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 6:41 AM Subject: Re: [R] Continuous columns of matrix There you go!!! structure(c(0.706461987893674, 0.998391468394261, 0.72402995269242, 1.70874688194537, 1.93906363083693, 0.89540353128442, 0.328327645695443, 0.427434603701202, 0.591932250254601, 0.444627635494183, 1.44407704434405, 1.79150336746345, 0.94525563730664, 1.1025988539757, 0.944726401770203, 0.941068515436361, 1.50874009152312, 0.590015480056925, 0.311905493999476, 0.596771673581893, 1.01502499067153, 0.803273181849135, 1.6704085033648, 1.57021117646422, 0.492096635764151, 0.433332688044914, 0.521585941816778, 1.66472272302545, 2.61878329527404, 2.19154489521664, 0.493876245329722, 0.4915787202584, 0.889477365620806, 0.609135860199222, 0.739201878930367, 0.854663750519518, 0.948228727226247, 1.38569091844218, 0.910510759802679, 1.25991218521949, 0.993123416952421, 0.553640392997634, 0.357487763503204, 0.368328033777003, 0.344255688489322, 0.423679560916755, 1.32093576037521, 3.13420679229785, 2.06195904001605, 1.41493262330451, 1.35748791897328, 1.19490680241894, 0.70248875618332! 2, 0.338258418490199, 0.123398398622741, 0.138548982660226, 0.16170889185798, 0.414543218677095, 1.84629295875002, 2.24547399004563, 0.0849732189580101, 0.070591276171845, 0.0926010253161898, 0.362209761457517, 1.45769283057202, 3.16165004659667, 2.74903557756267, 1.94633472878995, 1.19319875840883, 0.533232612926756, 0.225531074123974, 0.122949089115578), .Dim = c(12L, 6L)) Thanks once again..
