Perhaps the following will get what you want Vadj <- V %*% t(R) Hope this is helpful, Dan Daniel Nordlund Olympia, WA 98504-5204 ______________________________________________ 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.
