Hi,
Here is what ?apply says:
"Returns a vector or array or list of values obtained by applying a
function to margins of an array."
So apply() works on arrays, not on dataframes! Maybe lapply() would do
what you're looking for (don't have time to look more into it)
And you don't do "exactly the same with a for" because xx is a matrix (a
matrix is a 2-dimensional array, dataframes are lists)
HTH,
Ivan
PS: I don't see any data attached. Think about using dput(), it's great ;)
