[R] Grouping Index of Matrix Based on Certain Condition

[Christos Hatzis]

Try this:

> x <- matrix(runif(20), ncol=2)
> x
            [,1]      [,2]
 [1,] 0.33119833 0.4797847
 [2,] 0.01339784 0.5218626
 [3,] 0.78975940 0.8597246
 [4,] 0.60849015 0.5217248
 [5,] 0.91779777 0.9364047
 [6,] 0.88302538 0.3467961
 [7,] 0.87565986 0.4029147
 [8,] 0.51594479 0.9885018
 [9,] 0.87680383 0.7694989
[10,] 0.40761877 0.4661846

> apply(x, 1, function(y) ifelse(diff(y)<0, 1, 2))
 [1] 2 2 2 1 2 1 1 2 1 2
