Dear all,
I am facing a challenge when applying the outer product with a matrix by rows.
What I have is a rather big matrix, which I would like to convert into a
different matrix by doing something like
outer(matrix_row, vector, function(x,y) x[1]+5*x[4]/y)
In order to get there, I tried to get the matrix into a list using the mefa
package, as subsetting the original data appears too complicated. However, if I
apply the following code I always get a dimensional error, as the unlist()
function is applied to the whole list.
library(mefa)
a<-matrix(c(1:6),ncol=3)
b<-c(1,2,3,4)
a<-mat2list(a,MARGIN=1)
outer(a,b,function(x,y){unlist(a)[1]+unlist(a)[3]/b})
Any idea how to do this more elegantly than a nested for-loop?
Many thanks,
Ingo
