you may try this, once your factor grouping the rows is defined (here noted 'fac') : > A=matrix(1:12,ncol=3) > A [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 5 9 [2,] 2 6 10 [3,] 3 7 11 [4,] 4 8 12 > fac=factor(c(1,1,2,2)) > split(A,fac) $`1` [1] 1 2 5 6 9 10 $`2` [1] 3 4 7 8 11 12 > groupeA = lapply(split(A,fac),matrix,ncol=ncol(A)) > groupeA $`1` [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 5 9 [2,] 2 6 10 $`2` [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 3 7 11 [2,] 4 8 12 And then you can perform any action on these matrices using lapply or sapply.
