Hi Anh,

I know that it is not so elegant, but may work.


x<-runif(10)
y<-runif(10)*2
z<-runif(10)*3
df<-data.frame(cbind(x,y,z))
df

df$f<-NULL
for (i in 1:nrow(df))
 {
 df[i,"f"]<-max(c(df[i,"x"],df[i,"y"],df[i,"z"]))
 }

 Of course, others that know better apply family will solve if with a line
:-)

There are some functions for rowSums, rowMeans (see the help).



Kind regards,

miltinho
