Hi Everyone,
Thanks to everyone for their help. With your suggestions and some poking
around, the following works for what I need. It basically adds all the matrices
elementwise, and adds nothing if the element is NA. Thanks again! Code below:
******************************
mymats <- vector('list', 5)
set.seed(246)
# Generate a list of five 3 x 3 matrices
for(i in 1:5) mymats[[i]] <- matrix(sample(1:9), nrow = 3)
mymats[[5]][1,1]<-NA
mymats[[4]][2,2]<-NA
mymats
matrixadder<-function(u,v){
na.u<-is.na(u)
na.v<-is.na(v)
ifelse(na.u & na.v, NA, ifelse(na.u, 0, u)+ ifelse(na.v,0,v))
}
Reduce('matrixadder',mymats)
******************************
Cheers,
Greg
