[Rcpp-devel] Creating a multidimensional array

[Barth Riley]

Dear list

I am trying to create a simple Rcpp function that creates a three-dimensional array based on the values of a four-dimensional array. The arrays are declared as NumericVectors with a dim attribute represent the number of levels of each dimension. Here is a sample of the code:

NumericVector sumby4(NumericVector X) {
  Dimension dim = X.attr("dim");
  if(dim.size() != 4) return NULL;
  
  NumericVector ret = NumericVector::create(dim[0],dim[1],dim[2]);

  for(int i = 0; i < dim[0]; i++) {
    for(int j = 0; j < dim[1]; j++) {
      for(int k = 0; k < dim[2]; k++) {
        ret(i,j,k) = NA_REAL;
…

When I attempt to compile the package in which this function resides, I get the error message associated with the “ret(I,j,k) = NA_REAL” line:

No match for call to Rcpp::NumericVector Rcpp::Vector<14 Rcpp::PreserveStorage>})(int&, int&, int&)

I take from this message that the NumericVector ret cannot be indexed by three values, even though it has been dimensioned as a 3D array. What am I doing wrong here?
