I don't know of a way to construct a paramater-name out of variable values
(so that "a.b" is a dynamic name as intended in your v=rbind(v,a.b=1) ),
though possibly someone else does!
However, something along the following lines would work (you construct
a vector of row names, along with v, within the loop, and then apply
it at the end):
v<-(1:6)
a.b<-"0"
for (a in 1:3){
for (b in 4:5) {
a.b<-c(a.b,paste(a,".",b,sep=""))
v=rbind(v,1)
}
}
rownames(v)<-a.b
v
# [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6]
# 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
# 1.4 1 1 1 1 1 1
# 1.5 1 1 1 1 1 1
# 2.4 1 1 1 1 1 1
# 2.5 1 1 1 1 1 1
# 3.4 1 1 1 1 1 1
# 3.5 1 1 1 1 1 1
