Dear R helpers, I would like to write a loop that makes 4 objects (called A, B, C, and D) each of which contains ten random numbers.
This attempt: individuals<-c("A","B","C","D") for(i in 1:length(individuals)) { individuals[i]<-rnorm(10) } does not work because "individuals[i]" is not the proper way to extract each letter from the object called "individuals" (rather, it tries to assign the random numbers to various positions within "individual") So, my question is, what should be to the left of the gets operator in the third line? Many thanks, Mark Na [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
