slice.index
Slice Indexes in an Array
Description
Returns a matrix of integers indicating the number of their slice in a given array.
Usage
slice.index(x, MARGIN)
Arguments
x | an array. If |
MARGIN | an integer vector giving the dimension numbers to slice by. |
Details
If MARGIN
gives a single dimension, then all elements of slice number i
with respect to this have value i
. In general, slice numbers are obtained by numbering all combinations of indices in the dimensions given by MARGIN
in column-major order. I.e., with m_1, ..., m_k the dimension numbers (elements of MARGIN
) sliced by and d_{m_1}, ..., d_{m_k} the corresponding extents, and n_1 = 1, n_2 = d_{m_1}, ..., n_k = d_{m_1} … d_{m_{k-1}}, the number of the slice where dimension m_1 has value i_1, ..., dimension m_k has value i_k is 1 + n_1 (i_1 - 1) + … + n_k (i_k - 1).
Value
An integer array y
with dimensions corresponding to those of x
.
See Also
row
and col
for determining row and column indexes; in fact, these are special cases of slice.index
corresponding to MARGIN
equal to 1 and 2, respectively when x
is a matrix.
Examples
x <- array(1 : 24, c(2, 3, 4)) slice.index(x, 2) slice.index(x, c(1, 3)) ## When slicing by dimensions 1 and 3, slice index 5 is obtained for ## dimension 1 has value 1 and dimension 3 has value 3 (see above): which(slice.index(x, c(1, 3)) == 5, arr.ind = TRUE)
