Okay, what I did so far is to create a list of a list of a list... I don't know
whether this makes sense... (it's just initialized... I have to change it for
individual cases) What do you think about?
plate.parameters <- c("param1","param2")
temp <- c("mean","sd")
vec <- vector("list",length(plate.parameters))
names(vec) <- plate.parameters
vec[] <- list(temp)
calculation.list <- list(vec,vec)
names(calculation.list) <- c("group1", "group2")
The term "parameter" means a measurement, e.g. param1 measures the size of
objects, param2 is the measurement of the intensity of objects.
