Subject: FOR loop with statistical analysis for microarray data
In-Reply-To: <CANStiKmDkpgWCvQdG3b4R84CBB7vVFFvjSO=FS-uA9WKFucsHA@mail.gmail.com>

In your loop, you assign, for example, pv twice
pv=w$p.value # pv is scalar
pv[i]= w[2]   # pv is a vector

give an example for the point

pv=1
pv[5]=2
pv
[1]  1 NA NA NA  2

This may not be what you want.
