[R] Reversing one dimension of an array, in a generalized case

Here is an alternative approach using apply(). Note that with apply() you are
reversing rows or columns not indices of rows or columns so apply(junk, 2, rev)
reverses the values in each column not the column indices. We actually need to
use rev() on everything but the index we are interested in reversing:

f2 <- function(a, wh) {
    dims <- seq_len(length(dim(a)))
    dims <- setdiff(dims, wh)
    apply(apply(a, dims, rev), dims, t)
}

# Your example
j1 <- junk[ , rev(1:10), ]
j2 <- f2(junk, 2)
all.equal(j1, j2)
# [1] TRUE

# Bert's example
z1 <- f(z, 2)
z2 <- f2(z, 2)
all.equal(z1, z2)
# [1] TRUE

How about this:

f <- function(a,wh){ ## a is the array; wh is the index to be reversed
   l<- lapply(dim(a),seq_len)
   l[[wh]]<- rev(l[[wh]])
   do.call(`[`,c(list(a),l))
}

## test
z <- array(1:120,dim=2:5)

##  I omit the printouts

f(z,2)

f(z,3)


Cheers,
Bert

[R] Reversing one dimension of an array, in a generalized case

My error. Clearly I did not do enough testing.

z <- array(1:24,dim=2:4)> all.equal(f(z,1),f2(z,1))
[1] TRUE> all.equal(f(z,2),f2(z,2))
[1] TRUE> all.equal(f(z,3),f2(z,3))[1] "Attributes: < Component ?dim?: Mean relative difference: 0.4444444
>"
[2] "Mean relative difference: 0.6109091"    

# Your earlier example> z <- array(1:120, dim=2:5)
> all.equal(f(z,1),f2(z,1))
[1] TRUE> all.equal(f(z,2),f2(z,2))
[1] TRUE> all.equal(f(z,3),f2(z,3))[1] "Attributes: < Component ?dim?: Mean relative difference: 0.4444444
>"
[2] "Mean relative difference: 0.1262209"                             
> all.equal(f(z,4),f2(z,4))[1] "Attributes: < Component ?dim?: Mean relative difference: 0.5714286
>"
[2] "Mean relative difference: 0.5855162"

[R] Reversing one dimension of an array, in a generalized case

And my 2 cents,

Rev <- function(x, margin) {
    newdim <- rep("", length(dim(x)))
    newdim[margin] <- paste(dim(x), ":1", sep =
"")[margin]
    z <- eval(parse(text = gettextf("x[%s,drop = F]", paste(newdim,
sep = "",
                                                            collapse =
","))))
    class(z) <- oldClass(x)
    return(z)
}

z <- array(1:24,dim=2:4)
dim(f(z, 3)) # 2 3 4
dim(f2(z, 3)) # 3 4 2
dim(Rev(z, 3)) # 2 3 4
dim(revdim(z,3)) # 2 3 4

microbenchmark::microbenchmark(f(z, 3), Rev(z, 3), revdim(z,3), f2(z,3))

Unit: microseconds
         expr     min       lq      mean   median       uq     max neval
      f(z, 3)   6.356   7.6090   9.74268   9.3285  11.2325  35.571   100
    Rev(z, 3) 161.079 166.9660 175.26906 172.1450 176.8130 273.078   100
 revdim(z, 3)   5.011   6.1300   7.88565   7.5695   9.0500  21.301   100
     f2(z, 3)  68.454  71.6815  82.85703  81.6700  87.9285 126.496   100

and strangely,

all.equal(f(z, 3), Rev(z, 3), revdim(z,3), f2(z,3))
[1] TRUE
