Dear UseRs,Extremely sorry for a basic question. I have a matrix of 19 rows and 365 columns. what i want to do is the following...First i want to leave out column number 1 and want to calculate the row wise mean of the remaining columns, which will obviously give me 365 values in one column, and then subtracting these values from the column i left out i.e. col=1 then i want to leave out column 2 and calculate the row wise mean of the remaining columns which includes column 1 too and then subtracting these values from the column i left out i.e. col=2.and then continuing this process the last column. i know a kind of "manual way" of doing things but its extremely long and laborious.Is there any loop command or shorter way?? thanks in advanceregardseliza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
