Dear Frederike, #Both your functions are vectorized. So you don't need loops. Working with vectorized functions is much faster than looping. fn <- function (x,y) { ifelse(x>46 & x<52 & y<12, 1, 0) } datagrid <- expand.grid(i = 40:60, j = 0:20) res <- apply(datagrid, 1, function(z){ fn(z["i"], z["j"]) })
or outer(40:60,0:20,fn2) which also keeps the matrix structure ... (use as.vector(...) or as.vector(t(...)) if you need a vector) ______________________________________________ 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.
