#I am trying to write code that will create a matrix with a variable number of

DiffMeans

#I have a problem when I try to name the columns of the matrix. I want the 
first column to be NSims, #and the other columns to be something like Value1, 
Value2, . . . Valuen where N=Grps

# I wrote a function to build a list of length Grps
createValuelist <- function(num_elements) {

     cat("Item", i, "\n", sep = "")

createValuelist(Grps)

# When I try to assign column names I receive an error:
#Error in dimnames(DiffMeans) <- list(NULL, c("NSim", createValuelist(Grps))) :
# length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array extent
dimnames(DiffMeans) <- list(NULL,c("NSim",createValuelist(Grps)))
DiffMeans

# Thank you for your help!

Hello,

Something like this?



names_cols <- function(x, First = "NSims", Prefix = "Value") {
  nms <- c(First, sprintf("%s%d", Prefix, seq_len(ncol(x) - 1L)))
  colnames(x) <- nms
  x
}

NSims <- 4
Grps <- 5
DiffMeans <- matrix(nrow=NSims,ncol=1+Grps)
names_cols(DiffMeans)
#>      NSims Value1 Value2 Value3 Value4 Value5
#> [1,]    NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA
#> [2,]    NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA
#> [3,]    NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA
#> [4,]    NA     NA     NA     NA     NA     NA



Hope this helps,
