Hello, I wish to perform a substitution of certain numerical values in a data matrix with the corresponding column name. For instance, if I have a data matrix V1 V2 V3 2 0 1 0 1 2 1 5 0 5 0 0
I want to substitute the `1' and the `2' for the corresponding column name, and make everything else `NA' like this V1 V2 V3 V1 NA V3 NA V2 V3 V1 NA NA NA NA NA I have done this using an explicit `for' loop, but it takes a really long time to finish. Is there any way I can do this using `apply' or some form of implicit looping?
