Re: [R] casting a character vector as an object

Dear Jesse, You can use a "list" to do what you want: # Data mylist1=list(x=1:5,y=rnorm(10),z=letters[1:15]) mylist2=list(x=1:15,y=rnorm(5),z=letters[1:5]) # Length of each object in mylist1 l1=sapply(mylist1,length) # The same for mylist2 l2=sapply(mylist2,length) # Ratio l1/l2 x y

Greetings, I need to compare the ratios of vector sizes like this: length(object1) / length(object2) I have many vector objects to compare, so I would like to do it in a loop. I created a loop like this: mat1 <- matrix() for (i in 1:6) { for (j in 1:6) { mat1[i,j] <-
