[R] loop for column substraction of a matrix

[arun]

HI,

Try this:
set.seed(1)
 mat1<-matrix(sample(1:500,380,replace=TRUE),ncol=38)
list1<-list()
for(i in 1:ncol(mat1)){
 list1[[i]]<-t(apply(mat1,1,function(x) x[i]-x))
 list1}


list1
A.K.

Dear useRs,


I have a matrix with 38 columns and 365 rows. what i want to do is the following.....

1. subtracting from each column, first itself and then all the remaining columns. More precisely, from column number 1, i will first subtract itself(column 1) and then the remaining 37 columns. Afterwards i will take column number 2 and do the same. In this way i want to proceed till 38th column. 
2. i want to print the resulting matrix on A4 paper.

Bundle of thanks in advance.

best regards
eliza
