Hi, Here is a not so easy way to do your first step, but it works: MAT2 <- cbind(MAT, rowSums(MAT)) MAT[order(MAT2[,6], decreasing=TRUE),]
For the second, I don't know! HTH, Ivan Le 12/2/2010 09:46, Aaron Polhamus a écrit :
Greetings, My goal is to create a Markov transition matrix (probability of moving from one state to another) with the 'highest traffic' portion of the matrix occupying the top-left section. Consider the following sample: inputData<- c( c(5, 3, 1, 6, 7), c(9, 7, 3, 10, 11), c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), c(2, 4, 6, 8, 10), c(9, 5, 2, 1, 1) ) MAT<- matrix(inputData, nrow = 5, ncol = 5, byrow = TRUE) colnames(MAT)<- c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E") rownames(MAT)<- c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E") rowSums(MAT) I wan to re-arrange the elements of this matrix such that the elements with the largest row sums are placed to the top-left, in descending order. Does this make sense? In this case the order I'm looking for would be B, D, A, E, C Any thoughts? As an aside, here is the function I've written to construct the transition matrix. Is there a more elegant way to do this that doesn't involve a double transpose? TMAT<- apply(t(MAT), 2, function(X) X/sum(X)) TMAT<- t(TMAT) I tried the following: TMAT<- apply(MAT, 1, function(X) X/sum(X)) But my the custom function is still getting applied over the columns of the array, rather than the rows. For a check try: rowSums(TMAT) colSums(TMAT) Row sums here should equal 1...
