You could use 'do.call' with 'bind.array' (from S Poetry) or 'abind'
to convert your list of matrices into a three-dimensional array.

Is there a simple way to calculate summary statistics for all the
matrices or dataframes in a list? For example:
z <- list(matrix(c(2,2,2,2), ncol = 2), matrix(c(4,4,4,4), ncol = 2))
z
[[1]]
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 2 2
[2,] 2 2
[[2]]
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 4 4
[2,] 4 4
I would like to calculate, for example, the mean value for each
cell. I can do that the hard way as:
(z[[1]] + z[[2]]) / 2
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 3 3
[2,] 3 3
But there must be an easier way. I am also interested in other
statistics (like median and sd). Since all my matrices have the same
attributes (especially row and column names), I would like to preserve
those in the answer.
Thanks,
