[R] Replace two nested loop with an apply kind of function

[Mark Sharp]

The only reason to use one of the apply family of functions is because the idiom makes your code more clear. I do not see how that would be the case here. The apply functions are not typically any faster. If you really need speed the Rcpp package is very easy to use.
