Dear All, Here is a hypothetical sample (sorry for the clumsy code):
A1 <- matrix(1:5, nrow=5, ncol=1) A2 <- matrix(6:10, nrow=5, ncol=1) A3 <- matrix(11:15, nrow=5, ncol=1) A4 <- matrix(16:20, nrow=5, ncol=1) A5 <- matrix(21:25, nrow=5, ncol=1) A6 <- matrix(26:30, nrow=5, ncol=1) B1 <- matrix(c(A1, A2, A3), nrow=5, ncol=3) B2 <- matrix(c(A2, A3, A4), nrow=5, ncol=3) B3 <- matrix(c(A3, A4, A5), nrow=5, ncol=3) C <- array(c(B1, B2, B3), dim = c(5,3,3)) D1 <- matrix(c(A1, A4, A5), nrow=5, ncol=3) D2 <- matrix(c(A3, A5, A6), nrow=5, ncol=3) E <- array(c(D1, D2), dim = c(5,3,2)) In the above example, I want to merge array C to array E by matching the column 1. That is, the resultant array F should look like this: F1 <- matrix(c(A1, A4, A5, A2, A3), nrow=5, ncol=5) F2 <- matrix(c(A3, A5, A6, A4, A5), nrow=5, ncol=5) F <- array(c(F1, F2), dim = c(5,5,2)) Would you please advise on the codes? Thank you very much for any help.
