[R] Mapping data onto score

[rcoder]

Hi Ben,
Yes, this is more or less what I want to do. I want to apply this data in
columns in a matrix, and insert the results to additional columns. I am not
entirely aware of a good way of doing this.

e.g. take data from column B, apply normalisation, and feed output into
column C

Thanks,

rcoder
