R 中指定列数的矩阵的 rowsum

我正在尝试获取 R 矩阵中某一行的列总和。但是，我不希望对整行进行求和，而只对指定数量的列进行求和，即在本例中对角线上方的所有列进行求和。我尝试过 sum 和 rowSums 函数，但它们要么给我奇怪的结果，要么给我错误消息。为了进行说明，请参阅下面 8x8 矩阵的示例代码。对于第一行，我需要除项目 [1,1] 之外的行的总和，对于第二行，我需要除项目 [2,1] 和 [2,2] 等之外的总和。

m1 <- matrix(c(0.2834803,0.6398198,0.0766999,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,
               0.0000000,0.1101746,0.6354086,0.2544168,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,
               0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0548145,0.9451855,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,
               0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.3614786,0.6385214,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,
               0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.5594658,0.4405342,0.0000000,0.0000000,
               0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.7490395,0.2509605,0.0000000,
               0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.5834363,0.4165637,
          0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.0000000,1.0000000),
             8, 8, byrow = TRUE, 
             dimnames = list(c("iAAA", "iAA", "iA", "iBBB", "iBB", "iB", "iCCC", "iD"),
                  c("iAAA_p", "iAA_p", "iA_p", "iBBB_p", "iBB_p", "iB_p", "iCCC_p", "iD_p")))

我已经尝试过以下方法：

rowSums(m1[1, 2:8]) --> Error in rowSums(m1[1, 2:8]) : 
  'x' must be an array of at least two dimensions

或者：

sum(m1[1,2]:m1[1,8]) --> wrong result of 0.6398198 (which is item [1,2])

据我了解 rowSums 需要一个数组而不是一个向量（尽管不确定为什么）。但我不明白为什么使用 sum 的第二种方法不起作用。理想情况下，有某种方法可以仅对位于对角线上方的行中的所有列求和。

多谢！

问题是你没有将数组传递给rowSums:

class(m1[1,2:8])
# [1] "numeric"

这是一个数值向量。使用多行就可以正常工作：

class(m1[1:2,2:8])
# [1] "matrix"

rowSums(m1[1:2,2:8])
#     iAAA       iAA 
#0.7165197 1.0000000 

如果你想对对角线上方的所有列求和，那么你可以使用lower.tri将对角线下方的所有元素设置为0（也许NA）然后使用rowSums。如果您不想包含对角线元素本身，您可以设置diag = TRUE（感谢@Fabio 指出了这一点）：

m1[lower.tri(m1 , diag = TRUE)] <- 0
rowSums(m1)
#     iAAA       iAA        iA      iBBB       iBB        iB      iCCC        iD 
#0.7165197 0.8898254 0.9451855 0.6385214 0.4405342 0.2509605 0.4165637 0.0000000 

#  With 'NA'
m1[lower.tri(m1)] <- NA
rowSums(m1,na.rm=T)
#     iAAA       iAA        iA      iBBB       iBB        iB      iCCC        iD 
#0.7165197 0.8898254 0.9451855 0.6385214 0.4405342 0.2509605 0.4165637 0.0000000
