Hi I had a hard-to-find bug in some of my code the other day, which I eventually traced to my misusing of sweep(). I would expect sweep() to give me a warning if the elements don't recycle nicely, but X <- matrix(1:36,6,6) sweep(X,1,1:5,"+") [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 2 9 16 23 30 32 [2,] 4 11 18 25 27 34 [3,] 6 13 20 22

Hi, Suppose I have a multidimensional array: tmp <- array(1:8, c(2,2,2)) is there a function out there that, given a one-dimensional array index, will return the separate indices for each array dimension? for instance, tmp[8] is equivalent to tmp[2,2,2]. I'd like to derive the vector (2,2,2) from the index 8. thanks, Brad Buchsbaum
