Is there a simple way to calculate summary statistics for all the matrices or dataframes in a list? For example: > z <- list(matrix(c(2,2,2,2), ncol = 2), matrix(c(4,4,4,4), ncol = 2)) > z [[1]] [,1] [,2] [1,] 2 2 [2,] 2 2 [[2]] [,1] [,2] [1,] 4 4 [2,] 4 4 > I would like to calculate, for example, the mean value for each cell. I can do that the hard

Hi How do I make do.call() take "+" as a function for a list of more than two elements? Toy problem follows: f <- function(i){matrix((1:6)^i,2,3)} # Thus f() returns a matrix of size 2x3; I want to add a whole bunch of such matrices, # as in f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) # But: > do.call("+",sapply(1:4,f,simplify=FALSE)) Error in do.call("+",
