temp<-apply(A,1,sum(diff(x)) == -1 )
but check it because I haven't tested it and when things are not tested there can often be unforeseen problems. Also, may have to declare sum(diff(x)) == -1 as a separate function and then call it. I'm not sure aobut that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Guenther, Cameron Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 4:20 PM To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] Counting zeros in a matrix Hi All, If you could help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Suppose I have a matrix A: 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 I would like, for each row, to sum the number of times a 0 appears in front of a 1. So what I would like is to have Sum 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 2 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 I tried writing a function to do this but am getting mixed up in the [i,j] coding. This is just an example the real matrix is much larger. Thanks in advance.
