Hi all

Suppose I have a dim=c(2,2,3) matrix A, say:

A[,,1]=
a b
c d

A[,,2]=
e f
g h

A[,,3]=
i j
k l

Suppose that I want to create a 2x2 matrix X, which picks elements from the above-mentioned submatrices according to an index matrix J referring to the "depth" dimension:
J=
1 3
2 3


In other words, I want X to be
X=
a j
g l

since the matrix J says that the (1,1)-element should be picked from A[,,1], the (1,2)-element should be picked from A[,,3], etc.

I have A and I have J. Is there an expression in A and J that creates X?

Thanks

Juhana
