HI,
Try this:
set.seed(1)
mat1<-matrix(sample(1:500,380,replace=TRUE),ncol=38)
list1<-list()
for(i in 1:ncol(mat1)){
list1[[i]]<-t(apply(mat1,1,function(x) x[i]-x))
list1}
list1
A.K.

Subject: [R] loop for column substraction of a matrix
Dear useRs,
I have a matrix with 38 columns and 365 rows. what i want to do is the
following.....
1. subtracting from each column, first itself and then all the remaining
columns. More precisely, from column number 1, i will first subtract
itself(column 1) and then the remaining 37 columns. Afterwards i will take
column number 2 and do the same. In this way i want to proceed till 38th
column.
2. i want to print the resulting matrix on A4 paper.
Bundle of thanks in advance.
best regards
eliza
