Given a matrix of MxN want to take the means of rows in the following fashion m<-matrix(seq(1,80),ncol=20, nrow=4) result<-matrix(NA,nrow=4,ncol=20/5) result[,1]<-apply(m[,1:5],1,mean) result[,2]<-apply(m[,6:10],1,mean) result[,3]<-apply(m[,11:15],1,mean) result[,4]<-apply(m[,16:20],1,mean) result [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 9 29 49 69 [2,] 10 30 50 70 [3,] 11 31 51 71 [4,] 12 32 52 72
So, I want the mean of every successive 5 values in a row as the dimension in columns is wide I cant write it with multiple apply as above [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
