Hello, I am looking for an elegant one-liner for the following operation: x <- rnorm(10) y <- runif(10) c(mean(x)-mean(y), mean(x)+mean(y)) I thought about apply(data.frame(x, y), 2, mean) but I don't know how to apply the +- operation on the result of apply. Thanks, *S*
The most elegant way probably is the way you had above for this setting, otherwise you could do, e.g.:
df <- data.frame(x, y) sapply(c("-", "+"), function(f, dat) do.call(get(f), as.list(colMeans(dat))), dat = df) Uwe Ligges ______________________________________________ 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.
