Hi,
I am having a problem in doing something similar to this example:
Suppose I have this vector a, and from it I wish to create 5 other
vector
each one with less one value than what object a has
So I have "a"
a<-c(1,2,3,4,5)
and I want
a1 that shoud have (2,3,4,5)
a2 that should have (1,3,4,5)
a3 that should have (1,2,4,5)
a4 that should have (1,2,3,5)
a5 that should have (1,2,3,4)
I have tried like this but with no luck
For ( i in 1:5) {
a<-c(1,2,3,4,5)
a((i)<-a[-i]
}
Is there a way to do this?
Dan showed you a method using assign (since that is what is needed for
what you asked for) but you would get a more flexible result if you
used a structure that could be easily indexed such as a matrix or list:
> A <- sapply(1:5, function(i) a[-i])
> colnames(A) <- paste("a", 1:5, sep="")
> A
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5
[1,] 2 1 1 1 1
[2,] 3 3 2 2 2
[3,] 4 4 4 3 3
[4,] 5 5 5 5 4
So:
> A[ ,"a1"]
[1] 2 3 4 5
