Dear Amadou,

There isn't any looping needed to perform these calculations. This can all be
done using the ":" operators. Here is an example of the syntax:

--begin log--

: A = (0,2,3\1,2,3\3,1,5)

: B = colmin(A)\colmin(A)\colmin(A)

: C = B:==A

: C
       1   2   3
    +-------------+
  1 |  1   0   1  |
  2 |  0   0   1  |
  3 |  0   1   0  |
    +-------------+

: B = rowmin(A),rowmin(A),rowmin(A)

: D = B:==A

: D
       1   2   3
    +-------------+
  1 |  1   0   0  |
  2 |  1   0   0  |
  3 |  0   1   0  |
    +-------------+

: E = C:&D

: E
       1   2   3
    +-------------+
  1 |  1   0   0  |
  2 |  0   0   0  |
  3 |  0   1   0  |
    +-------------+

--end of log--

Sincerely,

Kerry Kammire

Hi,
I've checked with the statalist but I need a rather urgent answer
to this question.
Nick Cox pointed me in a direction but I cannot take from there
and get to the final solution.
Here is my question.
Suppose you have a matrix:

: A
       1   2   3
    +-------------+
  1 |  0   2   3  |
  2 |  1   2   3  |
  3 |  3   1   5  |
    +-------------+


I want a true condition being placed on each element of the 3 columns.
Element is one 1 if it is the smallest value of the column, and 0 otherwise.

So I want:


    +-------------+
  1 |  1   0   1  |
  2 |  0   0   1  |
  3 |  0   1   0  |
    +-------------+

My other question is:
Element (i,j) is 1 if  it is the smallest value of the column j AND the column i
, and 0 otherwise.
I want:

    +-------------+
  1 |  1   0   0  |
  2 |  0   0   0  |
  3 |  0   1   0  |
    +-------------+


Here is what I coded, but I do not know how to implement double loops in mata.

clear
cap mata clear
mata:
A = (0,2,3\1,2,3\3,1,5)
r = cols(A)
A
r
B = colmin(A)\colmin(A)\colmin(A)
B
J = J(r,r,0)
J
for (i=1;i<=r;++i {
    J[i,j] = cond([A[i,j]==colmin(A),1,0)
}
J


Best regards.
Amadou.
