You don't make it clear if you want the two lists processed in parallel, but
if so, this may be a step toward the function you want:
Combine <- function(l1, l2) {
pattern <- cbind(c(1, 2, 2, 3), c(1, 1, 2, 2))
for (i in 1:length(l1)) {
print((l1[[i]][,pattern[,1]]+l2[[i]][,pattern[,2]])/2)
}
}
Combine(l1, l2)
This simply prints the results, but you didn't indicate how you wanted the
output organized.
