Hi Hui, Ssee ?Reduce for more details. You might try something along the lines of
> mymean <- function(x) Reduce("+", x)/length(x) > add(b) [,1] [,2] [1,] 10.33333 12.33333 [2,] 11.33333 13.33333 HTH, Jorge On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 11:07 AM, Hui Du <> wrote: > Hi All, > > Suppose I have data like > > b[[1]] = matrix(1:4, 2, 2) > b[[2]] = matrix(10:13, 2, 2) > b[[3]] = matrix(20:23, 2, 2) > > [[1]] > [,1] [,2] > [1,] 1 3 > [2,] 2 4 > > [[2]] > [,1] [,2] > [1,] 10 12 > [2,] 11 13 > > [[3]] > [,1] [,2] > [1,] 20 22 > [2,] 21 23 > > Now I want to calculate the mean of each cell across the > list. For example mean of (b[[1]][1,1], b[[2]][1,1], b[[3]][1,1]), mean of > (b[[1]][1,2], b[[2]][1,2], b[[3]][1,2]) etc. e.g. mean of (1, 10, 20), mean > of(3, 12, 22). Could somebody tell me how to do it?
