Hi,

Alternatively:

apply( a, c(1,2), sd )

Cheers,

The function apply would be interesting but the chosen function can only be applied on the rows and columns of the array according to the help file. I can use a loop to cut the array in matrices and then use apply for each replication, but it's not very nice. A small example:
