...and there's one more function that is designed to tabulate a function of two variables over a grid. And yet another one to find which value is max in an array and return the array indices. > I'd give worked code but this hints at homework to me. > Yes... And since I would expect that most can solve the stated problem in their head, I wonder what the question is, and how it involves R. > Sarah > > On Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 10:23 AM, Eik Vettorazzi <e.vettora...@uke.de> wrote: >> Hi, >> not sure if that is what you are looking for, but have a look at >> >> cmb<-t(combn(c(0,3,5,8),2)) #get all pairs of combinations >> cbind(cmb,apply(cmb,1,diff)) #for each pair, get the difference >> >> cheers >> >> >> Am 01.08.2012 12:29, schrieb loyolite270: >>> Hi >>> >>> I need to optimize the below function: >>> >>> a=function(x){ >>> A=x[1] >>> B=x[2] >>> C=B-A >>> return(C) >>> } >>> >>> I need to optimize the above function such that x can be any combination of >>> these number (0,3,5,8) of vector length 2 >>> (i.e) x can be (3,0), (5,0), (8,0), (3,5), (3,8), (5,8), ...... etc >>> >>> can someone please help me solve this problem ? >>> >>> >>> > > > -- > Sarah Goslee > http://www.functionaldiversity.org > > ______________________________________________ > 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. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ 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.
