[R] comparing row by row in matrix

[Petra Steiner]

Hello,

and thanks for the two responses to my questions on binary matrixes, which
showed me that the functions I needed do not exist.

To get a distance matrix with the Russell-Rao-coefficient, I first have to
compare each row of a binary matrix with each row and count how many
elements are
a. equal
and
b. 1.

by
f <- function(x,y) (sum(x == 1& y == x))

Now how can I iterate this over a matrix without a loop? I think apply etc.
will not work in this case.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Petra
