Converting Between Matrix Subscripts And Linear Indices (like Ind2sub/sub2ind In Matlab)
Answer :
This is not something I've used before, but according to this handy dandy Matlab to R cheat sheet, you might try something like this, where m
is the number of rows in the matrix, r
and c
are row and column numbers respectively, and ind
the linear index:
MATLAB:
[r,c] = ind2sub(size(A), ind)
R:
r = ((ind-1) %% m) + 1
c = floor((ind-1) / m) + 1
MATLAB:
ind = sub2ind(size(A), r, c)
R:
ind = (c-1)*m + r
For higher dimension arrays, there is the arrayInd
function.
> abc <- array(dim=c(10,5,5))
> arrayInd(12,dim(abc))
dim1 dim2 dim3
[1,] 2 2 1
You mostly don't need those functions in R. In Matlab you need those because you can't do e.g.
A(i, j) = x
where i,j,x are three vectors of row and column indices and x contains the corresponding values. (see also this question)
In R you can simply:
A[ cbind(i, j) ] <- x
