Please apologize me! Earlier I've sent a message erroneously. Following is the original problem for which I'm seeking help. Extremely sorry...
Hi Arun, Thank you very much for your response. Sorry, if I couldn't explain clearly. I think, I should restate the problem to get exactly what I want. Here it goes: I have 2 matrices and 1 vector, namely, dcmat<-matrix(c(0.13,0.61,0.25,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.52,0.37,0.09,0.00,0.00,0.00, 0.58,0.30,0.11,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.46,0.22,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00, 0.09),nrow=5,ncol=5) volmat<-matrix(c(100,0,0,0,0),nrow=5,ncol=1) volinp<-c(1:40) What I essentially want to do is to multiply 'dcmat' with 'volmat' and dump the output in a new matrix 'vol'. But before that, in the first step, I want to add volinp[1] with volmat[1,1]. So, the first column of the output matrix 'vol' matrix will be: [,1] [1,] 13.13 [2,] 61.61 [3,] 25.25 [4,] 0.00 [5,] 0.00 In the 2nd step, I want to replace 'volmat' with vol[,1] and add volinp[2] with vol[1,1]. The new 'volmat' will look like: [,1] [1,] 15.13 [2,] 61.61 [3,] 25.25 [4,] 0.00 [5,] 0.00 Then multiply 'dcmat' with the new 'volmat', and the 2nd column of output matrix 'vol' will look like: [,2] [1,] 1.9669 [2,] 41.2665 [3,] 41.2232 [4,] 13.1199 [5,] 2.7775 Then again, replace the 'volmat' with vol[,2], add volinp[3] with vol[1,2] and multiply the new 'volmat' with 'dcmat'. This replacement, addition, multiplication, and dumping will continue up to the length of 'volinp' and the final output matrix 'vol' will be something like: [,1] [,2] [,3] ...length(volinp) [1,] 13.13 1.9669 0.645697 ... [2,] 61.61 41.2665 24.488389 ... [3,] 25.25 41.2232 40.419786 ... [4,] 0.00 13.1199 22.116099 ... [5,] 0.00 2.7775 7.670905 ... Within my limited capacity, I've tried to come up with a solution but failed. I'll appreciate your/others' help with gratefulness. Regards, Halim --------------- Md.
