[R] loop problem

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

you could consider something like this:

A <- matrix(rnorm(100 * 3), 100, 3); colnames(A) <- letters[1:3]
B <- matrix(rnorm(100 * 5), 100, 5); colnames(B) <- letters[4:8]
####
z <- matrix( 0, ncol(A), ncol(B), dimnames = list(colnames(A), 
colnames(B)) )
for(i in 1:ncol(A)){
    z[i, ] <- apply(B, 2, function(x, y) cor.test(x, y)$p.value, y = 
A[, i])
}
z


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
