Subject: [R] Applying a function to each element of an array
Hi,
I have a 7000x7000 matrix, and each element is an integer.
For each element, I want to apply the function :
wt <- 0
for(q in 1:count){
wt <- wt + 0.5^(q-1)
}
I get the value of 'count' from the elements in the matrix ,
and want to store the corresponding 'wt' value for that element.
I suppose I could loop through the matrix, and apply the
function to each element but this would take a really really
long time. Are there any quicker ways to get the same result?
many thanks,
Tim
