Hi R-users,
I have a list mylist <- list(c(0.79, 0.92, 0.91, 0.86, 0.96, 0.96, 0.95, 0.94, 0.99), c(0.28, 0.45, 0.59, 0.69, 0.80, 0.87, 0.95, 0.94, 0.98), c(0.29, 0.39, 0.59, 0.69, 0.68, 0.80, 0.93, 0.95, 0.98)) Is there a way to find the index of the list element that contains the lowest value among all the other elements? As the lowest value in each element is the first, the question is actually how to find the lowest 'first' values among the list elements, and then get the index of that element. In my example the list element would be (because the value is 0.28): [[2]] [1] 0.28 0.45 0.59 0.69 0.80 0.87 0.95 0.94 0.98 and the position of course 2. I am looking for the index because I would like to subset the list afterwards (e.g. mylist[[2]]) and extract that element (i.e. the whole vector).
