try this:

x1 <- matrix(NA, 6, 6,
   dimnames = list(letters[1:6], LETTERS[1:6]))
x2 <- matrix(rpois(9, 1), 3, 3,
   dimnames = list(c("b","a","f"), c("D","E","F")))

x1[rownames(x2), colnames(x2)] <- x2
x1


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

Hi R,



I have a matrix,



x1=matrix(NA,6,6,dimnames=list(letters[1:6],LETTERS[1:6]))

x1

  A  B  C  D  E  F

a NA NA NA NA NA NA

b NA NA NA NA NA NA

c NA NA NA NA NA NA

d NA NA NA NA NA NA

e NA NA NA NA NA NA

f NA NA NA NA NA NA



x2=matrix(rpois(9,1),3,3,dimnames=list(c("b","a","f"),c("D","E","F")))

x2

 D E F

b 0 3 0

a 2 2 1

f 1 0 0





I need to put the values of x2 in the corresponding elements of x1. So
then, x1 would look like:

  A  B  C  D  E  F

a NA NA NA 2 2 1

b NA NA NA 0 3 0

c NA NA NA NA NA NA

d NA NA NA NA NA NA

e NA NA NA NA NA NA

f NA NA NA 1 0 0







What would be the best way to do this?



Many Thanks,

Shubha
