[R] creating cubes

[Dalthorp, Daniel]

One possibility is to arrange it as a 3-dimensional array with two 5 x 5
matrices (i.e. a 5 x 5 x 2 array):

arrD3<-array(dim=c(5,5,2))

# the first matrix is (e.g.) random normal deviates:
mat1<-matrix(rnorm(25),nrow=5,ncol=5)

# the second matrix is (e.g.) random uniform deviates:
mat2<-matrix(runif(25),nrow=5,ncol=5)

# populating your 3-d array:
arrD3[,,1]<-mat1
arrD3[,,2]<-mat2

# to see what it looks like:
arrD3
