how to get the miminum value in the list

Hi:

It's just an extra step:

y <- list(list(c(1,5),c(2,3,4)), list(c(1, 3, 4), c(5, 7)))
lapply(seq_len(length(y)), function(i) lapply(y[[i]], min))
[[1]]
[[1]][[1]]
[1] 1

[[1]][[2]]
[1] 2

[[2]]
[[2]][[1]]
[1] 1

[[2]][[2]]
[1] 5

unlist(lapply(seq_len(length(y)), function(i) lapply(y[[i]], min)))
[1] 1 2 1 5

HTH,
Dennis

but in my case, the list is a two-variable list, list[[j]][[i]]

when i use

lapply(list, min)

it appears
"""Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : invalid 'type' (list) of argument"""

thanks
