[R] Continuous columns of matrix

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Berend is right, it's at least confusing. To get just the index of the 
maximum value in each column,

apply(mat, 2, which.max)


To get that index and the two neighbours (before and after, wraping 
around) if they are greater than or equal to 80% of the maximum, try

fun <- function(x){
	n <- length(x)
	imx <- which.max(x)
	sec <- numeric(2)
	if(imx == 1){
		if(x[n] >= 0.8*x[imx]) sec[1] <- n
		if(x[2] >= 0.8*x[imx]) sec[2] <- 2
	}else if(imx == n){
		if(x[n - 1] >= 0.8*x[imx]) sec[1] <- n - 1
		if(x[1] >= 0.8*x[imx]) sec[2] <- 1
	}else{
		if(x[imx - 1] >= 0.8*x[imx]) sec[1] <- imx - 1
		if(x[imx + 1] >= 0.8*x[imx]) sec[2] <- imx + 1
	}
	sec <- sec[sec != 0]
	c(imx, sec)
}

apply(mat, 2, fun)


Note that the result comes with the maximum first and the others follow.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

>>> Dear useRs,If i have a matrix, say, 12 rows and 6 columns. The columns are continuous. I  want to find the index of maximum values and the actual maximum values. The maximum values in each column are the highest values and the values greater than or equal to 80% of the maximum value. Moreover, if a column has more than one maximum values than these values should come immediately next to each other.  For example, if you column 1 has a highest value in 6th row then the second maximum values cant be in row 5 or 7. And as the columns are continuous therefore, if maximum value is in row 12th, then the second maximum cant be in row 11 and 1.Thankyou very much indeed in advance
