Hi,

Try this:
b1<-aperm(array(a,dim=c(5,2,2)),perm=c(2,1,3))

b1

Subject: [R] Read vector as multi-dimensional data in R by row

Dear R users


Say I wanted to read a vector into R as multi-dimensional array by row,
e.g.

a<-c(1:20)

b<-array(a,dim=c(2,5,2))
b

, , 1

? ?  [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]? ? 1? ? 3? ? 5? ? 7? ? 9
[2,]? ? 2? ? 4? ? 6? ? 8?  10

, , 2

? ?  [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]?  11?  13?  15?  17?  19
[2,]?  12?  14?  16?  18?  20


But actually I wanted...

? ?  [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]? ? 1? ? 2? ? 3? ? 4? ? 5
[2,]? ? 6? ? 7? ? 8? ? 9?  10

, , 2

? ?  [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]?  11?  12?  13?  14?  15
[2,]?  16?  17?  18?  19?  20


I checked '?array' but there is not an argument or something? like
'byrow=T' as the one in 'matrix'.

Could anyone help please?

Many thanks in advance!
