[R] 3D matrix

[David Khabie-Zeitoune]

As previous replies have suggested -- you could use an "array"
E.g.

> X = array(0, dim=c(100,12,12))

Then X[i, , ] returns the i-th 12 by 12 matrix "slice" in this array,
e.g. 

> X[1, ,]

     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [,11] [,12]
 [1,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
 [2,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
 [3,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
 [4,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
 [5,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
 [6,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
 [7,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
 [8,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
 [9,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
[10,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
[11,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0
[12,]    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0    0     0     0     0

Dear all,

Thanks for all the answers.

I think I need to explain what I want to do.

I want to create 100 matrices with size 12x12.

The following program is not working...
nk <- 100
for (i in 1:nk) {
case[i]<-matrix(0,12,12)
}

Thanks a lot.
Regards.
Marcel
