Dear Patrizio and all, Do you know a similar approach to this, so that *any* function is sequentially applied on a matrix? Particularly, instead of wanting to sum columns every 8 rows, how could we apply a linear regression to the columns of a matrix every 8 rows? ie, if we have a matrix say of 100 rows and 3 columns- say columns are price, production cost, desired profit. How can we apply lm(price~production cost +desired profit) where the data is taken every 10 lines from the matrix, ie we end up with 10 different regressions? Any help is welcome, Thank you very much Denise
