Hi
I'm trying to set up a simulation problem without resorting to (m)any loops. I
want to set entries in a data frame of zeros ('starts' in the code below) to 1
at certain points and the points have been randomly generated and stored in a
separate data.frame ('sl'), which has the same number of columns.
An example of the procedure is as follows:
ml <- data.frame(matrix(sample(1:50,80, replace=TRUE),20,4))
mm <- apply(ml, 2, cumsum)
starts<- data.frame(matrix(0,600,4))
I can achieve the result I want with a loop:
for (i in 1:4){
lstarts[,i][mm[,i]] <-1
}
But as I want to use a large number of columns I would like to do away with the
loop
Can anyone suggest how this might be done?
Thanks in advance
Brett Robinson
