[R] help: how to get the position of a value in a matrix

[Liaw, Andy]

Use which(..., arr.ind=TRUE); e.g.,

> m <- matrix(runif(12), 3, 4)
> which(m > .8, arr.ind=TRUE)
     row col
[1,]   1   3
[2,]   2   3
[3,]   3   3
[4,]   3   4
> m
          [,1]       [,2]      [,3]      [,4]
[1,] 0.2148183 0.08251853 0.9444718 0.4487148
[2,] 0.5386863 0.49673282 0.8054240 0.5101593
[3,] 0.6252847 0.70974516 0.8858951 0.8590655
