Hi

What language are you comming from?

colnames(ScoutRSM.mat) <- paste("X", 1:39, sep="")

Regards
Petr

Subject: [R] assign index to colnames(matrix)

Hello,  I?m trying to follow the syntax of a script from a journal
website.  In order to create a regression formula used later in the
script, the regression matrix must have column names ?X1?, ?X2?, etc.
I have tried to assign these column names to my matrix ScoutRSM.mat
using a for loop, but I don?t know how to interpret the error message.
Suggestions?  Thanks, Paul


====================================================
====== instructions about dimnames(X)[[2]] = "X1","X2",...  =======
====================================================

function(binstr)
{
  # makes formula for regression
  # must make sure dimnames(X)[[2]] = "X1","X2",...
  ind<-which(binstr==1)
  rht <- paste("X", ind, sep="", collapse="+")
  ans<-paste("y ~ ", rht)
  return(as.formula(ans))
}

for (i in 1:dim(ScoutRSM.mat)[2]  {
colnames(ScoutRSM.mat)[i] <- paste("X", i, sep = ??)) }

Error in `colnames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = "X1") :
