Saving Vectors of Different Lengths in a Matrix/Data Frame Efficiently Using mapply and rbind.fill.matrix
Saving Vectors of Different Lengths in a Matrix/Data Frame Problem Statement Imagine you have a numeric vector area with 166,860 elements. These elements can be of different lengths, most being 405 units long and some being 809 units long. You also have the start and end IDs for each element. Your goal is to extract these elements and store them in a matrix or data frame with 412 columns. The Current Approach The current approach involves using a for loop to iterate over the 412 columns, and within each column, it extracts the corresponding elements from the area vector using a slice of indices (temp.
