Hi,
Did you program in SAS previously? :)
You don't really want data.frame but a named list (note that data frames
are lists but for columns).
mypars <- as.list(value)
names(mypars) <- param
mypars$max_pct
If you really want to use data.frame you can assign rownames and access
parameters through:
datapars <- data.frame(value=value)
rownames(datapars) <- param
datapars["max_pct","value"]
But this really seems more complicated way ins't it?
