The following examples are confusing to me. It is OK, to assigned NULL
to one element in a list. The result is still a list. However, a list
of NULL's are reduced to NULL. I don't understand how this conversion
occurs. Could somebody let me know what is going on?
> X=matrix(1:8, nr=4)
> apply(X,1, function(x) {if(x[[1]]==3){NULL}else{x[[1]]}})
[[1]]
[1] 1
[[2]]
[1] 2
[[3]]
NULL
[[4]]
[1] 4
> apply(X,1, function(x) {NULL})
NULL
