Dear all, Happy New Year for all of you! I hope we have an year of
essential freedom for everyone!
I am trying to manipulate a matrix in order to know in which column
and in which row a number is allocated. But, when we use the function
"which" it returns the position of the number in the "vector
representation of the matrix". For example:
> mata<-matrix(2:7,nrow=2,ncol=3)
> mata
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 2 4 6
[2,] 3 5 7
> matb<-matrix(2:7,nrow=3,ncol=2)
> matb
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 2 5
[2,] 3 6
[3,] 4 7
> which(mata==4)
[1] 3
> which(matb==4)
[1] 3
The function "which" returns the position "3" for both, mata and matb,
but If I didn't know that mata is a 2x3 matrix and matb is a 3x2, I
wouldn't know that the number 4 is at the column 2 and row 1 of the
mata and at the column 1 and row 3 of the matb. Do you know any way to
know the column and the row of a number in a matrix automatically?
Thanks, best regards,
Charles
