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

and create a new matrix
