So im here now b/c im incredibly frustrated. Please consider the following:
#Try 1 Data_<-list() Sn<-1:12 for(sn in Sn){ for(i in 1:10){ Data.X <- rnorm(100,0,10) Data_[[paste(sn,i,sep="-")]]<-Data.X } } ##Try 2 Data_<-list() Sn<-1:12 for(sn in Sn){ for(i in 1:10){ Data.X <- rnorm(100,0,10) Data_[[sn]][[i]]<-Data.X } } In Try 1 i am able to append separately each of the 120 different combinations of element types. But if i want to retrieve the data i have to create a separate value by 're' pasting the two element names (sn,i) together instead of just referencing them via subscripts [[sn]][[i]]. I have code for some other things where this works fine and the code im working on currently only craps out on certain data and its all the same (between different element types) so i cant figure out what the deal is. Doing things the way my code is written in Try 2 i return: $TRN[[11]] [1] 3488.300 384592.030 33478.449 20542.162 28967.105 9667.843 39702.814 250780.450 55615.836 12023.944 [11] 2060.849 3001.797 9252.429 86008.546 1209.302 26470.770 11700.330 7575.689 328187.431 $TRN[[12]] [1] 2645.294 70933.649 34832.911 203584.014 7040.440 49305.850 53736.759 22394.943 223590.439 26145.437 [11] 42278.920 41736.813 40478.030 $TRN_CLUST [1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Where $TRN[[n]] goes from 1-12 (only show 11,12 here) and $TRN_CLUST should do the same but there are times when i have missing values, hence the zero, but it doesnt store it the same (e.g $TRN_CLUST[[1]] [1] 0 $TRN_CLUST[[2]] [1] 0 .... What nuance am i missing here? Hope my question and issue are clear.
