Subject: [R] Apply function to column of array
Hi all,
I would like to apply a function to each column of an
2-dimensional array,
and store the result in a new 1-dimensional vector. I am not
sure how to
go about doing that syntatically. For instance, can I use
lapply? And,
if so, how do I specify which dimension should be used?
Also, how do I
pre-specify the type of object that will go into the
1-dimensional vector.
I'm not sure if it is important, the function I wish to apply to the
columns is density(). Additionally, I wish to be able to take these
density objects (stored in that 1-dim vector) and place them onto a
multiple-figure environment.
I'm new with R, so I tend to think in loops. I'd appreciate
any guidance
or tips on better ways to handle this problem.
Thanks!
Paul
