For a single row where mat is your matrix and r is the row

> sum(!is.na(mat[r,])) 

For every row in the matrix

> rowSums(!is.na(mat))

Subject: [R] Newbie needs to count elements in a row

Hi,

I have a n*m matrix and would like to count the number of elements not
equal to NA in a ROW.

e.g.

x 1 2 3 NA 10
y 2 NA 8 9 NA

Which function can I use to obtain
"4" for row x and
"3" for row y?

Could you help me? I found some functions for columns but not for
rows...

Thank you very much!
