Define inner as in: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/08/19562.html and use that with identical to define an inner product:
m <- matrix(c(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2), 2) # test matrix m colSums(inner(m, u <- unique(m,,2), identical)) u Please provide actual code to create test examples and expected results when you post.
