Hi,
Suppose that I have a list where each component is a list of two
matrices. I also have a vector of weights. How can I collapse my
list of lists into a single list of two matrices where each matrix
in the result is the weighted sum of the corresponding matrices.
I could use a loop but this is a nested calculation so I was hoping
there is a more efficient way to do this. To help clarify, here is
the code I would use with a for loop
result <- list(mat1=matrix(0,nrow1,ncol1),
mat2=matrix(0,nrow2,ncol2))
for (i in seq(along=matlist)) {
result$mat1 <- result$mat1+w[i]*matlist[[i]]$mat1
result$mat2 <- result$mat2+w[i]*matlist[[i]]$mat2
}
I apologise if this is a trivial question. Unfortunately I don't have
my copy of V&R S Programming to hand.
Thanks for your help,
Angelo
