Dear list, I have a question regarding how to allocate or initialize the proper type of the arrays or lists.
I have a for loop, each iteration, I want it to assign a subset of a data frame to an element of an array or list. However, I am wondering how I should initialize or allocate the empty array or list so that it has the same number of the elements as the subsets I am going to assign and also make the data type is compatible to the subset I am going to assign to it. It should look like this: #initialize or allocate. ( I don't know how to) { some codes: initialize an array or list (which one is better?) with "n" elements} #"for" loop for assigning a subset of a large data frame to the elements of the array or list (which on is better?) for (i in 1: n){ array[i] <- df[df$V1==A[i],] } Thanks.
