Given:
> mitest <- matrix(1:16,ncol=4)
> dimnames(mitest)[[1]] <- c("a","b","c","d")
> dimnames(mitest)[[2]] <- c("a","b","c","d")
> mitest
a b c d
a 1 5 9 13
b 2 6 10 14
c 3 7 11 15
d 4 8 12 16
I can do:
> mitest[cbind(c(1,2,3),c(2,3,2))]
[1] 5 10 7
but using the names does not work:
> mitest[cbind(c("a","b","c"),c("b","c","b"))]
[1] NA NA NA NA NA NA
despite the fact that
> mitest["a","b"]
[1] 5
works fine.
How can I do the equivalent of
> mitest[cbind(c(1,2,3),c(2,3,2))]
using row and column names?
Thanks
Agus
