Hello, I have a data.frame
> names(popA) [1] "Year" "Series" "Age" "WM" "WF" "HM" "HF" "BM" [9] "BF" "IM" "IF" "AM" "AF" "Yr" how do i loop over a subset of variables in this frame to create a vector of length equal to the number of variables in the subset such that the vector's ith element is the result of an aggregate fncn applied to the ith variable? eg, sumvar<-c(sum(WM),...,sum(AF)) if i try for(i in 4:13){ sumVar<- sum(popA[,i]) sumVar2<-c(sumVar) } it returns > sumVar2 [1] 287567 > length(sumVar2) [1] 1 which is only the value at the last spot. i cant quite figure this simple loop.
