[R] function on columns of two arrays

[arun]

Hi,
May be this helps.

  a1<- data.frame(a)
 b1<- data.frame(b)
 lapply(seq_len(ncol(a1)),function(i) lm(b1[,i]~a1[,i]))

 lapply(seq_len(ncol(a1)),function(i) summary(lm(b1[,i]~a1[,i]))$coef)

A.K.

Subject: [R] function on columns of two arrays

I've spent a bit too long searching the help history and attempting to apply some logic to the following:
I have two 3D arrays each with same dim. I wish to run lm on the respective columns of each array, preferably without loops.
We often hear chatter that sometimes apply() won't be faster "just use a for loop" I'd like to test this one...
I just can't seem to wrap my brain around use of mapply on this task and am more surprised that I'm not finding a solution out there already.


a <- array(1:60,dim=5:3)
b <- a*3+10
lm(b[,1,1]~a[,1,1]) 
#and repeat for all rows and columns...

thanks in advance.
Michael
