Is there an easy way to do it? The following is a tedious way to get what I want. But I wonder if there is a way to simplify this.  > a=matrix(rnorm(16),4,4) > a             [,1]       [,2]        [,3]       [,4] [1,]  0.33833811 -0.9422273 -0.06181611 -1.8346134 [2,] -0.68167996  0.2004836  0.71079887 -1.1590184 [3,]  0.07811688  0.1338694 -1.61262688  0.2988365 [4,]  0.21869786 -1.6356661 -0.13694344 -1.2121355 > b=a > b[2,]=a[3,] > b[3,]=a[2,] > b             [,1]       [,2]        [,3]       [,4] [1,]  0.33833811 -0.9422273 -0.06181611 -1.8346134 [2,]  0.07811688  0.1338694 -1.61262688  0.2988365 [3,] -0.68167996  0.2004836  0.71079887 -1.1590184 [4,]  0.21869786 -1.6356661 -0.13694344 -1.2121355 > c=b > c[,2]=b[,3] > c[,3]=b[,2] > c             [,1]        [,2]       [,3]       [,4] [1,]  0.33833811 -0.06181611 -0.9422273 -1.8346134 [2,]  0.07811688 -1.61262688  0.1338694  0.2988365 [3,] -0.68167996  0.71079887  0.2004836 -1.1590184 [4,]  0.21869786 -0.13694344 -1.6356661 -1.2121355 Sincerely, Yanwei Zhang Department of Actuarial Research and Modeling Munich Re America Tel: 609-275-2176 Email: yzhang@munichreamerica.com 	[[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) may be privileged, confidential or proprietary, and if you are not an intended recipient, please notify the sender, do not use or share it and delete it.
