[R] (subscript) logical subscript too long in using apply

[Petr PIKAL]

Hi

apply probably does not understand you function. I do not want to go too 
deeply into it but I noticed few issues in it. See inline

this shall be the same as
med <- apply(data, 2, median)

AFAIK this shall be same as

med_ge<-(sweep(dat, 2, med)<=0)*1

The rest is quite complicated for me so I do not dig into it. The obvious 
source of error is 
apply(med_ge[touse3, ], 2, mean)

which tells you that touse3 is longer than number of med_ge rows.

The error message probably could not be more precise.
