Dear all, I am using R version 2.9.2 in Windows.
I would like to output the results of a function I have written to a .txt file. I know that I can do this by using the code write.table(boothd(10),"boothd10.txt",sep="\t",append=TRUE) etc. However, I would like to bootstrap my function 'boothd' several times and get each vector of results as a new line in my text file. Is there a way to do this? I usually just set the code up to do bootstrapping around the function (i.e. I perform the replications within the function and output a matrix of results). However in the case of 'boothd' I am dealing with rare events and so sometimes I get an empty vector as output which makes mathematical sense. Unfortunately this casues the bootstrapping code to crash. I'm hoping that writing the results out line by line will remove this problem. I have tried rep(write.table(...),15) say but because of the occasional null vector the table is not written. Thank you for any help you can give. By the way, write.table(boothd(10),"boothd10.txt",sep="\t",append=TRUE) write.table(boothd(10),"boothd10.txt",sep="\t",append=TRUE) write.table(boothd(10),"boothd10.txt",sep="\t",append=TRUE) write.table(boothd(10),"boothd10.txt",sep="\t",append=TRUE) write.table(boothd(10),"boothd10.txt",sep="\t",append=TRUE) etc works but if I want to look at 1000 replications this is very time consuming!
