Dear R users,
how do I e.g. square each second element of a vector with an even
number of elements? Or more generally to apply a function to every
'nth' element of a vector. I looked into the apply functions, but
found no hint.
For example:
v <- c(1, 2, 3, 4)
mysquare <- function (x) { return (x*x) }
w <- applyfun(v, mysquare, 2)
then w should be c(1, 4, 3, 16)
Thanks for your time,
Michael Bach
