Hi guys, I am trying to write a function that allows me to perform specific transformations to each element of a 2 by 2 matrix to generate a 3 by 3 matrix. Input into function-2 by 2 matrix Output from function -3 by 3 matrix For example: # a is my original 2 by 2 matrix #b is my new 3 by 3 matrix set.seed(2) a=matrix(rnorm(4),ncol=2) #let's say these are the transformations i wish to perform b[1,1]=a[1,1]+1 b[1,2]=a[2,1]*a[2,2] b[1,3]=a[2,2]+a[1,1] b[2,1]=a[1,1]-5 b[2,2]=sqrt(a[2,2]) b[2,3]=a[1,1]/a[2,2] b[3,1]=a[2,2]-3 b[3,2]=a[1,1]*[a[1,2]+a[2,2]) b[3,3]=sqrt(a[1,1])/a[1,2]) Thanks.

Hi guys, After a long while I came up with this : set.seed(2) a<-matrix(rnorm(4),ncol=2) abc<-function(a) { b=matrix(NA,nrow=3,ncol=3) b[1,1]=a[1,1]+1 b[1,2]=a[2,1]*a[2,2] b[1,3]=a[2,2]+a[1,1] b[2,1]=a[1,1]-5 b[2,2]=sqrt(a[2,2]) b[2,3]=a[1,1]/a[2,2] b[3,1]=a[2,2]-3 b[3,2]=a[1,1]*(a[1,2]+a[2,2]) b[3,3]=sqrt(a[1,1])/a[1,2] return(b=matrix(c(b[1,1],b[1,2],b[1,3],b[2,1],b[2,2],b[2,3], b[3,1],b[3,2],b[3,3]),ncol=3)) } How can I improve on it?

Thanks David. I have actually 1 more question. How do I assign a name to the output created by this function?

Please do include context. "name assignment" can mean a few things: i) Adding a "name" attribute can be done with names(x) <- _whatever_ ii) Assigning to an object name should be done outside the function, not within it: x <- myLongFunc(...)
