Dear Michael,
Thank you for your answer.
I have 2 matrices. Each position of the matrices is a weight. And I
need to calculate the following sum of differences:
Considering:
mat1 and mat2 - two matrices (each of them 48000 x 48000).
d1 and d2 - two constant values.
sum<-0;
for(i in 1:nrows1){
for(j in 1:nrows2){
sum<-sum+ ( ( (mat1(i,j)/d1) -
(mat2(i,j)/d2) )^2 )
}
}
}
I was wondering if there is a better way to do this sum.
Thank you for your attention!
Best,
Charles
