Hello I have this problem. I have a large matrix of this sort:
> prova [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 3 3 3 3 [2,] 3 3 3 1 [3,] 1 3 3 3 [4,] 1 1 1 3 [5,] 3 1 1 3 [6,] 3 1 1 3 [7,] 1 3 1 3 [8,] 1 3 3 3 What I want to do is to count the number of sequences of ones and stack the results in a vector, which I will subsequently use to build an istogram (or a density) I mean: in the matrix "prova" I have two sequences of length two in column 1, one sequence of length three in column 2, one sequence of length four in column 3 and one sequence of length one in column 4. (I know I can actually turn the matrix into a vector by using rep(prova)) I would like to get to a vector such as : xx = [1,2,1,1] Can anyone help? Thanks!
