[R] number of pairwise present data in matrix with missings

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

Hi Andreas,

maybe something like this could do it:

mat <- sample(0:3, 20*2, TRUE); dim(mat) <- c(20,2)
mat[sample(1:20, 4),] <- NA
########
mat
sum(rowMeans(mat)==mat[,1], na.rm=TRUE)


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
