I know this is a very elementary question... I could not find a solution looking at old posts. I am unable to access a variable outside the scope of a for loop, even when the variable was defined before the loop:
haar <- function() { a = c(1.4560773, 2.3752412, 0.9798882, 3.0909252, 2.3986487, 1.8581543) for (i in c(1:100)) { m = matrix(rnorm(36)+1i*rnorm(36),6) qrm = qr(m) Q = qr.Q(qrm) eival = eigen(Q, only.values=T) ph = Arg(eival$values) v = Mod(ph) a = cat(a,v) } hist(a) } The hist command does not plot because a is null there. How do I plot a? I tried using assign("a", a, envir = .GlobalEnv) but that does not help either... Neither did using <<- Any help is most welcome.
