[R] accessing list elements
Hello everyone, I have a list which I am trying to calculate a max value.I have the list as w<-c(v[[1]][1],...v[[100]][1]). The problem I am getting is that the function max is saying the list is an "invalid type (list) of argument".When I show the element v[[1]][1] it shows as $statistic,V,736.I am only wanting to use the number 736 from v[[1]][1] but am not sure how to access that number only?I believe if I just use the number then I should be able to calculate the max. Any help would be appreciated Paul [[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.

What's v? And w? And what exactly do you want to do? A small reproducible example would be very helpful. Without knowing what your data look like, it's hard to make helpful suggestions.

Any help would be appreciated Paul Please see footer of this message, which states "...provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code." You do not do this. Is your problem like this? a <- list(20, 30) max(a) ##error max(unlist(a)) ##no error [[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. __ 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.
