Hello, If I want to apply some f(x) to such chunks of the the array dim(A)==c(d1,d2,d3,..,dk,...,dn) which are defined by A[...,ik,...] (ik belongs to {1,..,dk}), for now I use iteration via 'for (i in dim(A)[k]) f(A[...,k,...])' . Is there any more elegant approach, e.g like in 'apply' function which you can use on margin of the array. Just in my case I want the entire slice defined by margin to be an argument to my f(x), not just element-by-element.
If the former is too confusing: A - array dim(A)=c(3,4,5) f(x) - function; x is argument dim(x)=c(3,5) A has 4 slices of dim c(3,5) I want my result to be a vector c( f(A[,1,]), f(A[,2,]), f(A[,3,]), f(A[,4,]) ) Until now I was doing 'for (i in 1:4) res[i]<-f(A[,i,])' . Is there a more efficient way of doing this, maybe some predefined function?
