re ferring to a group of vectors without explicit enumeration
I would suggest that you use a list to store the values since it is easier to create and reference:
output <- list() for (i in 1:10) output[[i]] <- seq(i) output
[[1]] [1] 1 [[2]] [1] 1 2 [[3]] [1] 1 2 3 [[4]] [1] 1 2 3 4 [[5]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 [[6]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 [[7]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [[8]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [[9]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [[10]] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I am trying to define 25 vectors of varying lengths, say y1 to y25 in a loop, and then store the results of some computations in them. My problem is about using some sort of concatenation for names. For example, instead of initializing each of y1 through y25, I would like to do it in a loop. Similar to cat and paste for texts, is there anyway of using y"i" for the vector name where i ranges from 1 to 25, so ultimately it refers to the vector y1,..,y25? Varying lengths is not a problem. To start with each has only length 1 and then I will be adding to each vector based on some results. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/referring-to-a-group-of-vectors-without-explicit-enumeration-tp19351518p19351518.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
