Patitions an object into different sets — partition • Hmisc

Partitions an object into subsets of length defined in the sep argument.

partition.vector(x, sep, ...)
partition.matrix(x, rowsep, colsep, ...)

Arguments

x: object to be partitioned.
sep: determines how many elements should go into each set. The sum of sep should be equal to the length of x.
rowsep: determins how many rows should go into each set. The sum of rowsep must equal the number of rows in x.
colsep: determins how many columns should go into each set. The sum of colsep must equal the number of columns in x.
...: arguments used in other methods of partition.

Value

A list of equal length as sep containing the partitioned objects.
