Is there an easy way to do it? The following is a tedious way to get what I want. But I wonder if there is a way to simplify this. > a=matrix(rnorm(16),4,4) > a [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 0.33833811 -0.9422273 -0.06181611 -1.8346134 [2,] -0.68167996 0.2004836 0.71079887 -1.1590184 [3,] 0.07811688 0.1338694 -1.61262688 0.2988365 [4,] 0.21869786 -1.6356661 -0.13694344 -1.2121355 > b=a > b[2,]=a[3,] > b[3,]=a[2,] > b [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 0.33833811 -0.9422273 -0.06181611 -1.8346134 [2,] 0.07811688 0.1338694 -1.61262688 0.2988365 [3,] -0.68167996 0.2004836 0.71079887 -1.1590184 [4,] 0.21869786 -1.6356661 -0.13694344 -1.2121355 > c=b > c[,2]=b[,3] > c[,3]=b[,2] > c [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 0.33833811 -0.06181611 -0.9422273 -1.8346134 [2,] 0.07811688 -1.61262688 0.1338694 0.2988365 [3,] -0.68167996 0.71079887 0.2004836 -1.1590184 [4,] 0.21869786 -0.13694344 -1.6356661 -1.2121355 Sincerely, Yanwei Zhang Department of Actuarial Research and Modeling Munich Re America Tel: 609-275-2176 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) may be privileged, confidential or proprietary, and if you are not an intended recipient, please notify the sender, do not use or share it and delete it.
