I need to sum every two columns
for example
x1 x2 x3 x4
12 2 3 7
1 4 6 5
I need
X1 X2
14 10
5 11
I tried apply function
and I tried this function
mat is a matrix
mat1=matrix()
for(i in 1:nrow(mat)){
for(j in 1:ncol(mat)){
mat1[i,j]=mat[j,i]+mat[j,i+1]
}}
For example:
mat[,c(TRUE,FALSE)]+mat[,c(FALSE,TRUE)]
x1 x3
1 14 10
2 5 11
A generalization of this problem (for a data.frame
) might be something like:
sapply(split.default(mydf, 0:(length(mydf)-1) %/% 2), rowSums)
# 0 1
# [1,] 14 10
# [2,] 5 11
Replace the "2" in %/% 2
with the number of sets of columns you would like to "aggregate".
id <- 1:ncol(mat)
mat[ , id[id%%2!=0] ] + mat[ , id[id%%2==0] ]
x1 x3
[1,] 14 10
[2,] 5 11
