Hi,
I am new in R and I don´t know how to sum the product of two elements at the
time in a matrix
X=[ 1 5 9 13
2 6 10 14
3 7 11 15
4 8 12 16]
I would like to do (1*5+2*6+3*7+4*8)
I need to do it step by step because I will further put a conditional in the
formula
It worked this way
x <- matrix ( c (1 : 16),ncol = 4) #generating my x matrix
qw <- matrix (0, ncol = 4, nrow = 4)
answer<- matrix (0, ncol = 4, nrow = 4) #my final objective is to generate
this matrix
soma <- function (d,q){
(d [q, 1] * d [q, 2]) #a function to multiplicate two collumns and two
elements at a time
}
for (q in 1:4){
m <- soma
qw [q, 2] <- m (d, q)
}
answer <- sum (qw [, 2])
However I am doing this to generate a X'X matrix (since I can´t do t(X)$*$X
because i would like to include a conditional in the formula. Threrefore
this script above is not good to me)
Could anybody help me?
Thanks in advance
