I am working on a problem set where i'm being asked to remove every 2nd and every 5th column from a very large matrix mA
mA = matrix(rnorm(10000), nrow = 100, ncol = 100)
I can easily figure out how to do one of either, but i'm having a hard time figuring out how to do both at the same time. Anyone got any ideas?
Using vector recycling you can do -
result <- mA[, c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE)]
mA[,!(seq(ncol(mA)) %% 2 == 0 | seq(ncol(mA)) %% 5 == 0)]
We can also do
result <- mA[, -unique(unlist(lapply(c(2, 5), function(i) seq(1, ncol(mA), by = i))))]
