Hi All, I am trying to run a loop that will have varying numbers of rows with each output.
Previously I have had the same number of rows so I would use (and I appreciate that this will no doubt achieve some gasps as being thoroughly inefficient!): xdfrow<-(0) xdfrow1<-(1:32) xdfrow2<-(33:64) xdfrow3<-(65:96) xdfrow4<-(97:128) xdfrow5<-(129:160) xdfrow6<-(161:192) xdfrow7<-(193:224) and so on.... xdf <- matrix(999, nrow=1024, ncol=7) xdf <- as.data.frame(xdf) NAM <- c("NAME","ID2","DAY","BEH", "B_FALSE", "B_TRUE","TOTAL") colnames(xdf)<-NAM I then use this matrix and then run the loop and assign the data to each of the xdfrows just doing +1 on each loop. (If that makes sense? Not really important, just trying to show that I do try and solve some of my own problems, albeit perhaps not in the best manner!) _________ However, the data I'm working with now has a very varied number of rows (0:2500) over a large data set and I can't work out how is best to do this. So my loop would be: for (i in 1:33){ SEL_DAY<-seal_dist[seal_dist[,10]==i,] print(paste("DAY", i, "of 33")) for (s in 1:11){ SEL_HR<-SEL_DAY[SEL_DAY[,5]==s,] print(paste("HR", s, "of 11")) indx <- subset(SEL_HR, SEL_HR$DIST == 0) SEL_HR$TO_ID <- indx$ID[match(SEL_HR$TO, indx$TO)]} } where i is day and s is the hr within the day, the loop works fine because it prints as i expect it too. I have not given any info on the data because I assume this is more of a method question and will be very straight forward to most people on here!? But I am happy to post data if it is needed. I assume I need to set up a matrix before the loop, e.g. DIST_LOOP<-matrix(NA,1000,ncol=11) and then I should be able to put something before the first } that allows me to add to the matrix, but everything I have tried doesn't work e.g. DIST_LOOP[[i]]<-SEL_HR Any help would be much appreciated, Best wishes, Ross -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/storing-output-data-from-a-loop-that-has-varying-row-numbers-tp2238396p2238396.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
