Problems with sample variance
Tena koe Chloe Try var(r) BTW, it is better to use more than single letters in name your objects to reduce the chance of conflicting with a standard R object. HTH ... Peter Alspach

I generated 1000 samples with 15 data in each sample I tried finding the variance for each sample I used the code: m=1000;n=15
r<-rnorm(15000)
for(i in 1:m){
x=data[,i] v=var(x)} what I got was just the variance for the last sample i.e. the 1000th sample but what I want is 1000 variance. Does anyone know what I did wrong?
