[R] problem with matrix multiplication

[Huntsinger, Reid]

You could do rep(Y,rep(n,p))*X. The outer "rep" expands Y by replacing each
entry with a number of copies determined by the corresponding entry in the
second argument. Here the second argument is rep(n,p) so the number of
copies is always n.

Subject: [R] problem with matrix multiplication



Hi, I look for a solution to the following problem:

I have a (n x p) matrix X and a (p x 1) vector Y which
are to be multiplied such the result is the (n x p) matrix

  Z = ( X[,1]*Y[1] .... X[,p]*Y[p] )

Up to now I found that  sweep(X,2,Y,"*")  is (almost) what 
I want, but only for p>1.

Is there another elegant way to do this by matrix 
operations -- including the case p=1?
