Here is one approach: mymat <- matrix(rbinom(15, 1, .5), ncol=3) mymat [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 0 0 [2,] 0 0 1 [3,] 1 0 1 [4,] 0 1 0 [5,] 1 1 0 mymat[] <- sapply(mymat, function(x){ifelse(x == 1, 'P', ifelse(x == 0, 'A', NA))}) mymat [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] "P" "A" "A" [2,] "A" "A" "P" [3,] "P" "A" "P" [4,] "A" "P" "A" [5,] "P" "P" "A" > ______________________________________________ > 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. -- Chuck Cleland, Ph.D. NDRI, Inc.
