Q: Combining two list in R I have two list l1 and l2 that I would like to combined to look like the expected, and get the mean using lapply. I would like it to be more effecient so that I don't have to type out the values everytime, because I would like to use this for a larger list. What might be a better way of accomplishing this?
l1 <- list(1,2,3,4,5)
l2 <- list(6,7,8,9,10)

expected <- list(c(1,6), c(2,7), c(3,8), c(4,9), c(5,10))
lapply(expected, mean)

Thank you!

A: We may use Map to concatenate (c) and get the mean
Map(c, l1, l2)
mapply(\(x, y) mean(c(x, y)), l1, l2)
[1] 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5

Or instead of doing this in a loop, unlist both list to a vector, cbind to a matrix and get the rowMeans
rowMeans(cbind(unlist(l1), unlist(l2)))
[1] 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5

Or may use pmean from kit
library(kit)
pmean(unlist(l1), unlist(l2))
[1] 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5

A: Yet another possible solution:
rowMeans(do.call(rbind, Map(data.frame, A=l1, B=l2)))

#> [1] 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5

Or using purrr::map2_dbl:
library(purrr)

map2_dbl(l1, l2, ~ mean(c(.x, .y)))

#> [1] 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5

A: Another option is to use a simple formula on the two lists (which is slightly faster than pmean according to the benchmark below):
(unlist(l1) + unlist(l2))/2

# [1] 3.5 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5

Benchmark
To determine the fastest, I created a slightly larger dataset of two lists that each have a length of 1,000. Then, I compared all of the methods posted so far.
l1 <- map(lapply(seq(1, 1000, 1), list), 1)
l2 <- map(lapply(seq(11, 1010, 1), list), 1)

-code
bm <- microbenchmark::microbenchmark(Map = lapply(Map(c, l1, l2), mean),
                               mapply = mapply(\(x, y) mean(c(x, y)), l1, l2),
                               rowMeans = rowMeans(cbind(unlist(l1), unlist(l2))),
                               pmean = pmean(unlist(l1), unlist(l2)),
                               rowMeans_Paul = rowMeans(do.call(rbind, Map(data.frame, A=l1, B=l2))),
                               map2_dbl = map2_dbl(l1, l2, ~ mean(c(.x, .y))),
                               unlist_baseR = (unlist(l1) + unlist(l2))/2,
                               times = 1000)

What system is taught in this school?
Bio-Hygieo directly translated means, healthy life.
The word Hygieo is hygienic in English. In this school, we are emphasizing remedial hygienic.
Hygiene is that branch of biology that relates to the preservation and restoration of health. Remedial hygiene is the intelligent employment of the forces – in chemical or mechanical forms – and agents of nature for preserving and restoring health. It comprehends the ever-present needs of life, health, growth development, and activity. To support the aforementioned; light, air, water, food, rest, sleep, exercise, cleanliness, cheer, hope, love, joy, and the sense of liberty are the essentials.
cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, limbic, immune, metabolic, musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory, and reproductive.
Correct systematic exercise, has life extension benefits, it enhance the functions of the following: cardiovascular system, Digestive system, metabolic system, respiratory system, immune system, vision, Musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and the sexual system.
Consistent and systematic hydration of the body directly helps the fluidity of the blood flow in the cardiovascular system. Water plays a vital role in the homeostatic system; osmosis process depends majorly on the sufficiency of water for efficient function. The respiratory organs, excretory system, the liver, and the digestive system are all dependent on sufficient amount of water for optimal function. The body produces bioelectricity which comes as a result of the chemical reactions within it, which is highly dependent on the hydrolytic property of water.
The sun emits electromagnetic energy in the form of heat. The sun's energy is the primary source of all energy on earth necessary for all activities of life. All living systems revolve around electromagnetic energy. Every cell in the body is generating an electromagnetic field (EMF). The body cells use electric charges and electrochemical signals to perform their vital functions. Maintaining balance in those cellular EMFs is crucial to physical health.
Scientists had recently found that the Ultra-weak Electromagnetic Wavelength Radiation as Bio-photonic Signals received from the sun plays a role in regulating life processes. It enhances the ionization process taking place in the cell. The EMF triggers the Photochemical Processes to Induce Intercellular Communication by Electromagnetic Waves contributes to the repairing process of a damaged DNA.
Temperance is avoiding usages of all harmful substances and moderately using or consuming the good and the healthy substances. Through intemperance, metabolic wastes accumulate and turn into a toxic substance. By keeping temperance principle faithfully, it will affect the reduction of accumulated metabolic waste products in the system. Correct breathing is an integral component of the naturopathic system. Through respiration, we obtain twenty percent from the atmosphere minerals in the form of colloids, which are necessary for all of the chemical processes in our body to produce bioelectricity.

Sufficient rest, which includes sleep proves to be more than just getting rid of exhaustion. It is an integral part of healing and restorative process of the body. During sleep, essential hormones such as melatonin, hGH hormone, and testosterone produced for the benefit of the system. Optimal quantities of Sleep enhance the function of the Immune System.

Why did I think scones were hard to make?? They are so easy and so yummy! Usually scones are a bit crumbly and fall apart in your hands but these really hold together well without being too dense. The light lemon glaze is a perfect compliment to the raspberries.
Sift together all the dry ingredients; the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a fork cut the butter into the flour mixture. The mixture should look like course crumbs. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate, do not over work the dough. Fold the raspberries into the dough.
Press the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 10 by 5 by 1 1/4 inches, Cut the rectangle in half then in half again, giving you 4 squares. Cut each piece in half making the classic triangle shape. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are a nice brown color. Let the scones cool a bit before glazing.
Mix the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar together in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir the sugar until dissolved. Add the lemon zest and sugar. Nuk for 45 seconds on high. Whisk the glaze then drizzle on top of the scones.


Jimmy has been interpreting this Kid since 2007. This dramatic personality has allowed Moore to prove his veritable power as an actor with her dramatic and especially sensitive side he succeeds in reviving Edith Piaf's public. The role played on the big screen by Marillon Cotillard motivated this impersonator to do the same on the stage. A success to the core.
