Hi R-users,

 

I have a list 

 

mylist <- list(c(0.79, 0.92, 0.91, 0.86, 0.96, 0.96, 0.95, 0.94, 0.99),
c(0.28, 0.45, 0.59, 0.69, 0.80, 0.87, 0.95, 0.94, 0.98), c(0.29, 0.39,
0.59, 0.69, 0.68, 0.80, 0.93, 0.95, 0.98))

 

Is there a  way to find the index of the list element that contains the
lowest value among all the other elements? As the lowest value in each
element is the first, the question is actually how to find the lowest
'first' values among the list elements, and then get the index of that
element.  

 

In my example the list element would be (because the value is 0.28):

 

[[2]]

[1] 0.28 0.45 0.59 0.69 0.80 0.87 0.95 0.94 0.98

 

and the position of course 2.

 

I am looking for the index because I would like to subset the list
afterwards (e.g. mylist[[2]]) and extract that element (i.e. the whole
vector).

 

Thanks for your help

Lorenzo
