It looks to me like that's pretty close to working, except that you always want to apply v to rows, i. e. rank 1, i. e.

   colOrRow =. 2 : ' v"1`(v"1 &.|:)@.m'

but now I must accuse you of incomplete generalization. Suppose the operand has higher rank? Isn't what you really want to apply v along a given axis? And, come to think of it, shouldn't we allow v to have any rank, and apply it to selected axes? I would switch the meanings of u and v, and write

   onaxes =: 2 : 'u&.(n&|:)'

For rows, you would write

   u"1 onaxes 0

for columns,

   u"1 onaxes 1

You could have

   onaxis =: 2 : 'u"1&.(n&|:)'

but I think that's a special case.

Wait a minute... this means you would have to have an inverse of m&|: . What would that be? I mean, you would have to take the result, which might have any rank, and undo the transpose... how?

   2&|: b. _1
(] |:~ 2 C.^:_1 i.@#@$) :.(2&|:)
   3&|: b. _1
(] |:~ 3 C.^:_1 i.@#@$) :.(3&|:)

I can't prove that that's right.  But, knowing Roger, I bet it is.

thanks Henry,
to generalize the question, how do I define a conjuction colOrRow such that for 
any verb v:
0 colOrRow v is to apply v along row and combine the results row wise, while 1 
colOrRow v is to apply v along column and combine the results column wise?

I tried colOrRow =. 2 : ' v`(v"1 &.|:)@.m'. but this is not working.

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] zscore in J either column wise or row wise - basic 
question on rank


A good testcase for the new dissect tool!


     load '~addons/debug/dissect/dissect.ijs'

     z0 =. (- mean) % stddev
     z0 i. 3 4
|length error: z0
|       z0 i.3 4

what's it doing in there?
     z0 f.
(- (+/ % #)) % %:@(+/@:*:@(-"_1 _ (+/ % #)) % <:@#)

run dissect on that:

     ds '((- (+/ % #)) % %:@(+/@:*:@(-"_1 _ (+/ % #)) % <:@#)) i. 3 4'

the display shows that there is agreement error in (- mean).  Oh yeah,
to work at high rank, you have to put the correct rank on - and %  :

     z0 =. (-"_1 _ mean) %"_1 _ stddev
     z0 i. 3 4
_1 _1 _1 _1
   0  0  0  0
   1  1  1  1
     z0"1 i. 3 4
_1.1619 _0.387298 0.387298 1.1619
_1.1619 _0.387298 0.387298 1.1619
_1.1619 _0.387298 0.387298 1.1619

I don't know if that's correct, but the ranks are right.

if I define zscore as  z0 =. (- mean) % stddev, z0 works for rank 1 array.
For a rank 2 array like a=. i. 3 4, if I want to get zscore along either column 
or row, I could define
z1 =. [: |: stddev %~ |: - mean


z1 i. 3 3
_1 _1 _1
0  0  0
1  1  1

and

z1"1 i. 3 3
_1 0 1
_1 0 1
_1 0 1

My question is that z1 uses |: twice and looks awkward. If there any clever way 
to implement z1 by rank annotation or something?
