Well since you said that it cannot recognize the value of 'p', this suggests that you have not defined that object. Here is an example of what you might be trying to do (you can just copy and paste the code into R):
######################################## ## create x matrix of 0s x <- matrix(0, nrow = 21, ncol = 21) ## define 'p' p <- runif(1) ## assign 'p' to row 1 column 1 x[1, 1] <- p ## assign '1 - p' to row 10, column 10 x[10, 10] <- 1 - p ## print matrix x ######################################## Josh On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 1:51 AM, alkalinetrio <andrymazza...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Ok, I try to explain better... > > I have to create a 21x21 matrix with numbers and a parameter (for example I > have to put "p" and "1-p" somewhere in the matrix). > > I know how to write a matrix with all numbers, but if I put the parameter > inside, it says that it can't recognize the value p. > > What should I do? > Thank you > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/problem-with-parameters-tp3055682p3056983.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. > -- Joshua Wiley Ph.D. Student, Health Psychology University of California, Los Angeles http://www.joshuawiley.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.
