m[cbind(a,b)] will also do it: m [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [1,] 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 [2,] 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 [3,] 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 [4,] 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 4.6 4.7 [5,] 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7 a <- c(1, 4, 5) b <- c(2, 6, 7) diag(m[a,b]) [1] 1.2 4.6 5.7 m[cbind(a,b)] [1] 1.2 4.6 5.7 Ted. > On 3/1/07, yoooooo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Let's say i have >> >> a = c(1, 4, 5) >> b = c(2, 6, 7) >> >> and i have matrix m, what's an efficient way of access >> m[1, 2], m[4, 6], m[5, 7] >> like of course m[a, b] = is not going to do, but what's an expression >> that >> will allow me to have that list? >> >> Thanks! >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://www.nabble.com/Simplest-question-ever...-tf3329894.html#a9258932 >> Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >> >> ______________________________________________ >> R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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. >> > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 01-Mar-07 Time: 23:44:22 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
