[R] Problems dealing with matrices

[halim10-fes]

Please apologize me! Earlier I've sent a message erroneously. Following is the 
original problem for which I'm seeking help. Extremely sorry...  


Hi Arun,

Thank you very much for your response. Sorry, if I couldn't explain clearly. I 
think, I should restate the problem to get exactly what I want. Here it goes:

I have 2 matrices and 1 vector, namely,

dcmat<-matrix(c(0.13,0.61,0.25,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.52,0.37,0.09,0.00,0.00,0.00,
                0.58,0.30,0.11,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.46,0.22,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,
                0.09),nrow=5,ncol=5)

volmat<-matrix(c(100,0,0,0,0),nrow=5,ncol=1)

volinp<-c(1:40)

What I essentially want to do is to multiply 'dcmat' with 'volmat' and dump 
the output in a new matrix 'vol'. But before that, in the first step, I want 
to add volinp[1] with volmat[1,1]. So, the first column of the output matrix 
'vol' matrix will be:

        [,1]
[1,]   13.13
[2,]   61.61
[3,]   25.25
[4,]    0.00
[5,]    0.00

In the 2nd step, I want to replace 'volmat' with vol[,1] and add volinp[2] 
with vol[1,1]. The new 'volmat' will look like:

        [,1]
[1,]   15.13
[2,]   61.61
[3,]   25.25
[4,]    0.00
[5,]    0.00

Then multiply 'dcmat' with the new 'volmat', and the 2nd column of output 
matrix 'vol' will look like:

        [,2]
[1,]  1.9669
[2,] 41.2665
[3,] 41.2232
[4,] 13.1199
[5,]  2.7775

Then again, replace the 'volmat' with vol[,2], add volinp[3] with vol[1,2] and 
multiply the new 'volmat' with 'dcmat'. This replacement, addition, 
multiplication, and dumping will continue up to the length of 'volinp' and the 
final output matrix 'vol' will be something like:

      [,1]    [,2]      [,3]    ...length(volinp)
[1,] 13.13   1.9669   0.645697  ...
[2,] 61.61  41.2665  24.488389  ...
[3,] 25.25  41.2232  40.419786  ...
[4,]  0.00  13.1199  22.116099  ...
[5,]  0.00   2.7775   7.670905  ...   

Within my limited capacity, I've tried to come up with a solution but failed. 

I'll appreciate your/others' help with gratefulness.

Regards,

Halim
