R help - Nov 2012 - subtract multiple columns from single column for Nash Sutcliffe efficiency

Hi everyone, I am having trouble using my own data in the Nash-Sutcliffe
efficiency (NSE) function.

In R, this is what I have done:
Vobsr <- read.csv("Observed_Flow.csv", header = TRUE, sep
=",") # see data
below
Vsimr <- read.csv("1000Samples_Vsim.csv", header = TRUE, sep
=",") # see
data below

Vobsr <- as.matrix(Vobsr[,-1]) # remove column 1 from analysis thus Vobsr is
101x1 double matrix (column 1 is date information)
Vsimr <- as.matrix(Vsimr[,-1]) # remove column 1 from analysis thus Vsimr is
101x1000 double matrix (column 1 is date information)

How can I subtract each row in "Vsimr" from each row in
"Vobsr" (Vobsr -
Vsimr)? That is the problem that I am having that keeps me from using the
following code below for NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency):

NSE(Vobsr,Vsimr)
NSE = 1 - (sum((obs - sim)^2)/(sum(obs - mean(obs))^2)) # obs is Vobsr and
sim is Vsimr


I would like to thank each of you in advance for your assistance.


I am including some of the data from the files that I am operating on:
