I tried it for you. Just convert your matrix into a data frame using as.data.frame and then > rantony ABC PQR XYZ MNO [1,] 3 6 7 15 [2,] 2 12 24 15 [3,] 20 5 1 2 [4,] 25 50 15 35 > rantony=as.data.frame(rantony) > sapply(rantony,var) #calculates column wise variance ABC PQR XYZ MNO 137.66667 457.58333 99.58333 185.58333 > sapply(rantony,Mode) #calculates column vise Mode, where the mode function is available in prettyR <http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/prettyR/index.html> package ABC PQR XYZ MNO ">1 mode" ">1 mode" ">1 mode" "15" # the above means there are no modes in first three columns and in the last column Mode is 15 > sapply(rantony,quantile) ABC PQR XYZ MNO 0% 2.00 5.00 1.00 2.00 25% 2.75 5.75 5.50 11.75 50% 11.50 9.00 11.00 15.00 75% 21.25 21.50 17.25 20.00 100% 25.00 50.00 24.00 35.00 ________________________________ If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/MODE-VARIANCE-NTH-PERCENTAILE-tp4636112p46 36142.html To unsubscribe from MODE , VARIANCE , NTH PERCENTAILE, click here <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscrib e_by_code&node=4636112&code=YW50b255LmFra2FyYUBnZS5jb218NDYzNjExMnwxNTUx OTQzMDI5> .
