Will this do it for you: # Seed and data frames X, Y and Z set.seed(123) X=matrix(rnorm(300),ncol=5) Y=matrix(rpois(300,10),ncol=5) Z=matrix(rexp(300,1),ncol=5)
index <- seq(1, by=3, length=nrow(X)) FINAL <- matrix(ncol=5, nrow=3*nrow(X)) FINAL[index,] <- X FINAL[index + 1,] <- Y FINAL[index + 2,] <- Z On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 11:44 AM, Jorge Ivan Velez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear R-users, > > I've been working with three different data sets (X, Y and Z) with the same > dimension (i.e, n \times k).
