Hi: Here's a slightly different approach:
# Create two numeric matrices with outer(): o1 <- outer(u,u,">=") * 1L o2 <- outer(v, v, ">=") * 1L # Make a list of matrices that multiplies column i of o1 # vs. each column of o2 - use the * operator to do this # Shows what is going on at each step: lapply(seq(ncol(o1)), function(s) o1[, s] * o2) # Concatenate all product columns together into a matrix: do.call(cbind, lapply(seq(ncol(o1)), function(s) o1[, s] * o2)) HTH, Dennis On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 6:23 AM, carla moreira <[email protected]> wrote: > > u<-c(0.1,0.2,0.3) > v<-c(0.2,0.3,0.5) > > outer1<-outer(u,u,">=") > outer2<-outer(v,v,">=") > m<-nrow(outer1) > j<-nrow(outer2) > zz<-lapply(1:m, function(m) as.numeric(outer1[m,])) > tt<-lapply(1:m, function(m) as.numeric(outer2[m,])) > > zz[[1]]*tt[[3]], e.g., is possible, but I want every products between two > lists. > > Is there a way to do that? > > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-calculate-the-product-of-every-two-elements-in-two-lists-tp3593832p3593832.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > [email protected] 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. > ______________________________________________ [email protected] 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.
