How to multiply matrices elements if matrices are stored in a list in R?
To multiply matrices elements if matrices are stored in a list, we can make use of Reduce function. For example, if we have four matrices named as M1, M2, M3, and M4 stored in a list object called List then the multiplication each element in all the four matrices can be done by using the command Reduce("*",List).
Example1
M1<−matrix(rpois(16,5),nrow=4) M2<−matrix(rpois(16,5),nrow=4) M3<−matrix(rpois(16,5),nrow=4) M4<−matrix(rpois(16,5),nrow=4) List1<−list(M1,M2,M3,M4) List1
Output
