Muhammad -
   Here's one way:

files = c('File1','File2','File3')
themats = lapply(files,read.table)
ans = matrix(0,3,3)
for(i in 1:3)for(j in 1:3)ans[i,j] = sd(sapply(themats,function(x)x[i,j]))

   Here's another

files = c('File1','File2','File3')
themats = lapply(files,read.table)
ans = 
outer(1:3,1:3,Vectorize(function(i,j)sd(sapply(themats,function(x)x[i,j]))))

Hello R-users,

I would like to know how to find the standard deviation for each element in a set of matrices.

Given the following files,

  File1    File2    File3
  1 1 1   4 4 4   7 7 7
  2 2 2   5 5 5   8 8 8
  3 3 3   6 6 6   9 9 9

I want to calculate the standard deviation for every cell in the file (I'm using gridded data). The desired output is

  Output
  3 3 3
  3 3 3
  3 3 3


Thanks.

Muhammad
