Dear Markus,
I think that I missed something in my previous reply. Here is another
approach using the first k values of each list:
# Data set
set.seed(123)
mylist=list(a=rnorm(10),b=rpois(15,10),f=rnorm(30,12,3))
# Function to report the first k values
k.values=function(x,k){
res= x[order(x)][1:k]
names(res)=paste('value_',1:k,sep="")
res
}
# Example: first 3 values
res=lapply(mylist,k.values,k=3)
do.call(rbind,res)
value_1 value_2 value_3
a -1.265061 -0.6868529 -0.5604756
b 3.000000 4.0000000 6.0000000
f 7.353742 8.2038109 8.5855892
HTH,
Jorge
