Hi, I'm running R 2.7.2 on windows XP. I'd like to find the maximum of a 3-d array over it's third index to create a 2-d array. For example:
> x <- array(c(1,2,3,10,11,12,3:8),c(2,3,2)) > x , , 1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 3 11 [2,] 2 10 12 , , 2 [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 3 5 7 [2,] 4 6 8 > x1 <- x[,,1] > x2 <- x[,,2] > pmax(x1,x2) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 3 5 11 [2,] 4 10 12 Is there a pre-defined function that I can use to do this without using a for-loop? Also, the third index can be long and of variable length, so I don't want to explicitly write out x1, x2,... Thanks in advance for your help. eric ______________________________________________ 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.
