Hi list,

I have a matrix with all elements of some columns are zeroes.  Is it
possible to remove these columns:


Xnew <- X[ , as.logical(colSums(X)), drop=FALSE]

A counter-example:

X <- matrix(c(1,1,1,-1,0,1,1,1,1),3)

A fix:
> Xnew <- X[ , as.logical(colSums(abs(X))), drop=FALSE]
> Xnew
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1   -1    1
[2,]    1    0    1
[3,]    1    1    1
