Convert a matrix to a 1 dimensional array
I have a matrix (32X48).
How can I convert the matrix into a single dimensional array?
Answer
Either read it in with 'scan', or just do as.vector() on the matrix. You might want to transpose the matrix first if you want it by rows or columns.
> m=matrix(1:12,3,4)
> m
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,] 1 4 7 10
[2,] 2 5 8 11
[3,] 3 6 9 12
> as.vector(m)
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
> as.vector(t(m))
[1] 1 4 7 10 2 5 8 11 3 6 9 12
