Perhaps something like: sapply(1:40, function(n) c(gauss.quad(n)$nodes, rep(NA, 40-n))) sapply(1:40, function(n) c(gauss.quad(n)$weights, rep(NA, 40-n)))
You'll have to decide how you want the records combined but this should get you going in the right direction Michael PS -- it's polite to say what package your functions are coming from so we don't have to hunt them down. Also, it's much more helpful to have code that doesn't work rather than the vague "I've tried using mapply but ..." because it allows us to give you pointers that relate directly to your problem (and to your general coding style if there's anything that can be cleaned up there -- there are some real R ninjas on this list and I love watching their tricks) On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 6:51 PM, RisConfusingMe <derrick.kauf...@gmail.com> wrote: > To use the gauss.quad function: gauss.quad(n,type) which returns two lists > $nodes and $weights whose length will each equal n.
