My apologies for not including a working example.
Here it is:
for (i in 1:10){
cat("initial i = ",i,"\n")
x <- runif(1)
if (x > 0.7){
i <- i-1
}
cat("second i = ",i,"\n")
}
When I ran this i got what follows, so there were four cases where I
wanted the i not to increment.
initial i = 1
second i = 1
initial i = 2
second i = 1
initial i = 3
second i = 3
initial i = 4
second i = 3
initial i = 5
second i = 4
initial i = 6
second i = 6
initial i = 7
second i = 7
initial i = 8
second i = 7
initial i = 9
second i = 9
initial i = 10
second i = 10
