manipulation of list of matrices in R - r

Question

I have a list of matrices, generated with the code below
a<-c(0,5,0,1,5,1,5,4,6,7)
b<-c(3,1,0,2,4,2,5,5,7,8)
c<-c(5,9,0,1,3,2,5,6,2,7)
d<-c(6,5,0,1,3,4,5,6,7,1)
k<-data.frame(a,b,c,d)
k<-as.matrix(k)
#dimnames(k)<-list(cntry,cntry)
e<-c(0,5,2,2,1,2,3,6,9,2)
f<-c(2,0,4,1,1,3,4,5,1,4)
g<-c(3,3,0,2,0,9,3,2,1,9)
h<-c(6,1,1,1,5,7,8,8,0,2)
l<-data.frame(e,f,g,h)
l<-as.matrix(l)
#dimnames(l)<-list(cntry,cntry)
list<-list(k,l)
names(list)<-2010:2011
list
list
$`2010`
a b c d
[1,] 0 3 5 6
[2,] 5 1 9 5
[3,] 0 3 2 2
[4,] 1 2 1 1
[5,] 5 4 3 3
[6,] 1 2 2 4
[7,] 5 5 5 5
[8,] 4 5 6 6
[9,] 6 7 2 7
[10,] 7 8 7 1
$`2011`
e f g h
[1,] 0 2 3 6
[2,] 5 0 3 1
[3,] 2 4 0 1
[4,] 2 1 2 1
[5,] 1 1 0 5
[6,] 2 3 9 7
[7,] 3 4 3 8
[8,] 6 5 2 8
[9,] 9 1 1 0
[10,] 2 4 9 2
In each matrix I would like to delete the rows that are smaller than 1. But when I delete in matrix "2010" the first row (because <1), all other first rows in 2010 and 2011 should be deleted. Then the third row of first column is <1, then all other third columns should be deleted and so on...
The result should look like:
a b c d
[4,] 1 2 1 1
[6,] 1 2 2 4
[7,] 5 5 5 5
[8,] 4 5 6 6
[10,] 7 8 7 1
$`2011`
e f g h
[4,] 2 1 2 1
[6,] 2 3 9 7
[7,] 3 4 3 8
[8,] 6 5 2 8
[10,] 2 4 9 2

Answer 1

We can use rowSums
lapply(list, function(x) x[!rowSums(x <1),])
If we need to remove the rows that are common
ind <- Reduce(`&`, lapply(list, function(x) !rowSums(x < 1)))
lapply(list, function(x) x[ind,])
# a b c d
#[1,] 1 2 1 1
#[2,] 1 2 2 4
#[3,] 5 5 5 5
#[4,] 4 5 6 6
#[5,] 7 8 7 1
#$`2011`
# e f g h
#[1,] 2 1 2 1
#[2,] 2 3 9 7
#[3,] 3 4 3 8
#[4,] 6 5 2 8
#[5,] 2 4 9 2
Update
Based on the OP's comments about removing rows where the row is greater than the standard deviation of each columns,
lapply(list, function(x) {
for(i in seq_len(ncol(x))) x <- x[!rowSums(x > sd(x[,i])),]
x
})

Answer 2

# get union of the row index with at least one of the elements less 1
removed <- Reduce(union, lapply(list, function(x) which(rowSums(x < 1) != 0)))
lapply(list, function(x) x[-removed, ])
