[R] Help with multidimensional array

[Bert Gunter]

Arrays are vectors stored in column major order. Hence

H <- apply( H12*rep(hessian_lambda,e = n*k), 1:2, sum)
## but check that this gives what you want

I'm pretty sure this is faster than the alternatives that were
proposed, but whether it's much (or even noticeably)  faster, I don't
know.
