It can be done faster and more elegant with apply and rowSums rows <- 100000 A <- matrix(rpois(n = rows * 20, lambda = 100), nrow = rows) A[4, c(1,3)] <- 1000
system.time({ y <- t(apply(A, 1, function(z){ 1 * (z == max(z)) })) y[rowSums(y) > 1, ] <- 0 }) system.time({ nr <- nrow(A) nc <- ncol(A) B <- matrix(0,nrow=nr, ncol=nc) for(i in 1:nr){ x <- which(A[i,]==max(A[i,])) B[i,x] <- 1 if(sum(B[i,])>1) B[i,] <- as.vector(rep(0,nc)) } }) all.equal(y, B) HTH, Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.
