Dear all I have wrote the following line
return(as.vector(lapply(as.data.frame(data),min,simplify=TRUE))); I want the lapply to return a vector as it returns a list with elements as shown below List of 30001 $ V1 : num -131 $ V2 : num -131 $ V3 : num -137 $ V4 : num -129 $ V5 : num -130 as you can see I have already tried the simplify=TRUE and also the as.vector() but both did not help Why I want to use lapply is because afterwards will be easier to convert it to mclapply that can use many cores to do the work. I would like to thank you in advance for your help B.R Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
