Hi Dimitris,
This code is very helpful, although I note that the columns are not
preserved, ie if
> M <- matrix(sample(13, 9, TRUE), 3, 3)
produces:
> M
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 13 9 2
[2,] 10 1 12
[3,] 11 6 7
then
> n <- ncol(M)
> ind <- apply(M, 2, which.max)
> maxs <- M[cbind(ind, 1:n)]
> diags <- diag(M)
> diag(M) <- M[cbind(ind, 1:n)]
> M[cbind(ind, 1:n)] <- diags
produces
> M
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 13 1 2
[2,] 10 9 7
[3,] 11 6 12
The diagonal is maximized, but the rows are no longer the same. For
example, row 1 of the original matrix was 13 9 2, and in the second
matrix, it is 13 1 2.
I'm looking to conserve the rows, but only reorder them vertically.
Thanks,
Jonathan
