Hello guys, I am working on a matrix which looks like this one: > initialMatrix <- > rbind(cbind(rep("A",3),seq(1,3)),cbind(rep("B",4),seq(1,4)),cbind(rep("C",3),seq(1,3))) > initialMatrix [,1] [,2] [1,] "A" "1" [2,] "A" "2" [3,] "A" "3" [4,] "B" "1" [5,] "B" "2" [6,] "B" "3" [7,] "B" "4" [8,] "C" "1" [9,] "C" "2" [10,] "C" "3"
and I would like to turn it into a list that looks like that but don't know which operation to apply on it: > myList<-list() > myList[[1]]<-cbind(rep("A",3),seq(1,3)) > myList[[2]]<-cbind(rep("B",4),seq(1,4)) > myList[[3]]<-cbind(rep("C",3),seq(1,3)) > myList [[1]] [,1] [,2] [1,] "A" "1" [2,] "A" "2" [3,] "A" "3" [[2]] [,1] [,2] [1,] "B" "1" [2,] "B" "2" [3,] "B" "3" [4,] "B" "4" [[3]] [,1] [,2] [1,] "C" "1" [2,] "C" "2" [3,] "C" "3" I thought about a using which and lapply but didn't get to a solution. There is always a smart way to do it I'm sure but I'm not finding it...Can somebody help please? ----- Anna Lippel -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/smart-way-to-turn-a-vector-into-a-matrix-tp1692671p1692671.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
