Hi,

By comparing the different methods:
set.seed(5)
 mat1<-matrix(sample(1:1e6,1e6,replace=TRUE),ncol=10000)
 set.seed(25)
 x<-sample(1:1e6,10000,replace=TRUE)
 system.time(z1<-sweep(-mat1,2,x,"+"))
#   user  system elapsed 
 # 0.076   0.000   0.069 
 system.time(z2<-apply(-mat1,1,`+`,x))
 #  user  system elapsed 
 # 0.036   0.000   0.031 
 system.time(z3<-aaply(-mat1,1,`+`,x))
#   user  system elapsed 
#  1.880   0.000   1.704 
 system.time(z4<- x-t(mat1))  #winner
#   user  system elapsed 
 # 0.004   0.000   0.007 
 system.time(z5<- t(x-t(mat1)))
#   user  system elapsed 
#  0.008   0.000   0.009 


A.K.

thanks, I knew about apply, but did not you you can put plus signs with quotes.  That's a cool tricky,
Mike
