Given that you want to compare
columns, you can just do:

A > B

If you wanted to compare rows, then
it is more troublesome.  One approach
would be:

rep(A, each=nrow(B)) > B

Hi,

I have a vector and a matrix. For example,

A = [
12
3
4];

B = [
4       13
10      2
4       8];

I am comparing A to each column of B using A>B[,ii], so the expected result
is

C = [
1    0
0    1
0    0];

I am looking for a way to do this quickly instead of going through the for
loop, but haven't had any luck yet? Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Wendy
