Hi,
I have a vector and a matrix. For example,
A = [
12
3
4];
B = [
4 13
10 2
4 8];
I am comparing A to each column of B using A>B[,ii], so the expected result
is
C = [
1 0
0 1
0 0];
I am looking for a way to do this quickly instead of going through the for
loop, but haven't had any luck yet? Any advice is appreciated.
Hi Wendy,
You probably mean something like this:
apply(B,2,`<`,A)
which means roughly
"To each column of B, apply the function `<` using A as the comparison
values"
You will get a matrix of TRUE/FALSE values that are pretty much
equivalent to your 0/1 values. Note that there are quite a few '*apply'
functions and 'apply' is only guaranteed to work on arrays and matrices.
