Dear Contributors,
I am asking help on the way how to solve a problem related to loops for
that I always get confused with.
I would like to perform the following procedure in a compact way.
Consider that p is a matrix composed of 100 rows and three columns. I need
to calculate the sum over some rows of each
column separately, as follows:
fa1<-(colSums(p[1:25,]))
fa2<-(colSums(p[26:50,]))
fa3<-(colSums(p[51:75,]))
fa4<-(colSums(p[76:100,]))
fa5<-(colSums(p[1:100,]))
and then I need to apply to each of them the following:
fa1b<-c()
for (i in 1:3){
fa1b[i]<-(100-(100*abs(fa1[i]/sum(fa1[i])-(1/3))))
}
fa2b<-c()
for (i in 1:3){
fa2b[i]<-(100-(100*abs(fa2[i]/sum(fa2[i])-(1/3))))
}
and so on.
Is there a more efficient way to do this?
Thanks for your time!
Francesca
