Use the is.na() function to assign NA values:
> is.na(A) <- !B > A [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 3 NA NA [2,] 3 3 3 [3,] 3 3 NA > C <- matrix(c(3,3,3,NA,3,3,NA,3,NA),3,3) > all.equal(A, C) [1] TRUE Steven McKinney Statistician Molecular Oncology and Breast Cancer Program British Columbia Cancer Research Centre email: smckinney +at+ bccrc +dot+ ca tel: 604-675-8000 x7561 BCCRC Molecular Oncology 675 West 10th Ave, Floor 4 Vancouver B.C.
