Dear R-users,

I've been working with three different data sets (X, Y and Z) with the same
dimension (i.e, n \times k). What I needed to do was to conform a 4th data
set, i.e. FINAL, which first row was the X's first row, its second row was
the Y's first row, and its third row was the Z's first row, and so on.

My code is below. Is it possible to avoid the loop?

Thanks in advance,

Jorge

# Seed and data frames X, Y and Z
set.seed(123)
X=matrix(rnorm(300),ncol=5)
Y=matrix(rpois(300,10),ncol=5)
Z=matrix(rexp(300,1),ncol=5)

# First five columns and rows
X[1:3,1:5]
Y[1:3,1:5]
Z[1:3,1:5]

# FINAL' six rows
res=NULL; for(i in 1:nrow(X)) res=rbind(res,X[i,],Y[i,],Z[i,])
FINAL=data.frame(from.data=c('X','Y','Z'),res)
FINAL[1:9,1:6]
