Ivan and Michael, Many thanks for the tips, those solved my queries. Still interested in how to force custom functions to work over rows rather than columns when using apply, but the MAT/rowSums(MAT) technique is definitely the most efficient way to go for this application. Cheers, Aaron 2010/12

Hi Aaron, Following up on Ivan's suggestion, if you want the column order to mirror the row order... mo <- order(rowSums(MAT), decreasing=TRUE) MAT2 <- MAT[mo, mo] Also, you don't need all those extra c() calls when creating inputData, just the outermost one. Regarding your second question, you

Hi, Here is a not so easy way to do your first step, but it works: MAT2 <- cbind(MAT, rowSums(MAT)) MAT[order(MAT2[,6], decreasing=TRUE),] For the second, I don't know! HTH, Ivan Le 12/2/2010 09:46, Aaron Polhamus a écrit : Greetings, My goal is to create a Markov transition matrix (probabi

Greetings, My goal is to create a Markov transition matrix (probability of moving from one state to another) with the 'highest traffic' portion of the matrix occupying the top-left section. Consider the following sample: inputData <- c( c(5, 3, 1, 6, 7), c(9, 7, 3, 10, 11), c(1, 2, 3,
