It depends a bit on what you plan to do with the results. A loop would be easy and straightforward:
> k <- 1:5 > for(k in 1:5) print(Data - min(Data) + k) [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 [1] 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 [1] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 [1] 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Or you can use sapply() to hide the loop: > sapply(1:5, function(k) Data - min(Data) + k) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 1 2 3 4 5 [2,] 2 3 4 5 6 [3,] 3 4 5 6 7 [4,] 4 5 6 7 8 [5,] 5 6 7 8 9 [6,] 6 7 8 9 10 [7,] 7 8 9 10 11 [8,] 8 9 10 11 12 [9,] 9 10 11 12 13 [10,] 10 11 12 13 14 This is more compact if you are planning to save the results, e.g. > output <- sapply(1:5, function(k) Data - min(Data) + k) As opposed to using the loop: > output <- matrix(NA, length(k), length(Data)) for (i in seq_along(k)) > output[i, ] <- Data - min(Data) + k[i] output [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [1,] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 [2,] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 [3,] 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 [4,] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 [5,] 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ---------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-help <r-help-boun...@r-project.org> On Behalf Of Jake William Andrae Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 11:14 PM To: R-help <r-help@r-project.org> Subject: [R] Vary an equation using values from a sequence Hi All, I have a vector of data on which I am operating. The equation with which I want to operate on the vector has a value k. I want to run the equation and output a new vector, each time replacing k with each value from the sequence I defined. I have thought about using for loops and such, but this seems like overkill. I am wondering if there is a simple solution that would allow me to accomplish this. The code I am using is outlined below. Data <- c(1:10) #Data value <- seq(from = 0, to = 100 , by = 0.01) #Sequence Data - min(Data) + k # Equation Thanks, Jake Jake Andrae PhD Candidate Geology & Geophysics Sprigg Geobiology Centre Department of Earth Science School of Physical Sciences The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Phone: 0407701565 Email: jake.and...@adelaide.edu.au [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
