Hello,
I also thought of replicate() but it creates an 2x2x5 array, not a list.
Maybe it's all the same for the OP.

So, its easy enough to create a random matrix, using something like (say)
matrix(rnorm(4),2,2)
which generates a (2x2) matrix with random N(0,1) in each cell.
But, what I need to be able to do is create a 'list' of such random matrices,
where the length of the list (i.e., the number of said random matrices I store
in the list) is some variable I can pass to the function (or loop).
I tried the obvious like
hold <- list()
for (i in 1:5) {
hold[[i]] <- matrix(rnorm(4),2,2)
}
While this works, it seems inelegant, and I'm wondering if there is a better
(more efficient) way to accomplish the same thing -- perhaps avoiding the loop.
Thanks in advance...
Hi,
See ?replicate
Example:
## Create a list of 5 2x2 matrices
replicate(5, matrix(rnorm(4), 2, 2))
, , 1
[,1] [,2]
[1,] -0.1695775 1.0306685
[2,] 0.1636667 0.1044762
, , 2
[,1] [,2]
[1,] -0.3098566 2.1758363
[2,] -0.8029768 0.9697776
, , 3
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 0.5702972 0.7165806
[2,] -0.9731331 0.8332827
