I would like to apply on a matrix a function of both the value, the row index and the column index for every value in the matrix and get the transformed matrix. For example
mat<-matrix(c(1,2,3,4),2,2)
mat
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 1 3
[2,] 2 4
f<-function(x,i,j){x+i+j}
mat2 <- my.apply(f,mat)
mat2
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 3 6
[2,] 5 8
The example above is for illustration purposes, f
can be much more complex.
apply
does not do the job, because of the way the extra arguments are handled.
apply(mat,1:2,f,seq_along(mat[,1]),seq_along(mat[1,]))
, , 1
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 3 4
[2,] 5 6
, , 2
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 5 6
[2,] 7 8
I can not find either a way with the lapply
family. A for
loop can do the job but it won't be efficient nor elegant. Any suggestions? Thanks
Try mapply
mat <- matrix(c(1, 2, 3, 4), 2, 2)
mat
## [,1] [,2]
## [1,] 1 3
## [2,] 2 4
matrix(mapply(function(x, i, j) x + i + j, mat, row(mat), col(mat)), nrow = nrow(mat))
## [,1] [,2]
## [1,] 3 6
## [2,] 5 8
Here is an ugly use of apply, just for some quick and dirty job. The trick is adding an additional column (or row) for row (or column) indices.
mat <- matrix(c(1, 2, 3, 4), 2, 2)
t(apply(cbind(mat, 1:nrow(mat)), 1, function(x){x[1:ncol(mat)] + 1:ncol(mat) + x[ncol(mat)+1]}))
## [,1] [,2]
##[1,] 3 5
##[2,] 6 8
If you have a function f(x, i, j)
already, you can also try:
apply(cbind(mat, 1:nrow(mat)), 1, function(x){a = numeric(); for(j in 1:ncol(mat)){a[j] = f(x[j], x[ncol(mat)+1], j)}; a})
