Dear R help community,
I have tumbleled across some problem quite often and could not find a solution for it (or was not able to google the right terms). I am wondering whether there is a way to tell R to assign a value of parameter X to parameter B while the actual name of parameter X is given by parameter C. Like this: C<-"name of parameter X" B<- parameter X which has the name == C In that way I can easily change the value of C and then assign the values of different parameters to B, depending on which name I entered and saved as parameter C, which would help me dealing with automatic loops a lot! Like this: for (i in 1:3) { C<-c("name1","name2","name3")[i] B<-'parameter with name C' } Appreciate any suggestions! Best Jannis P.S. And thanks to all for the amazing answers posted to r-help that already helped me so many times! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
