i want to select June, July and August data from the 3D array (`ssta_sst`, 360*180*362).
the loop works but the output of ssta_winter has the identical values for `ssta_winter[,,i]`.seen below. I have set it up as an array of (360,180,29). I think the problem is the variable `temp`, i want to define it as an array first but i don't know what size it should be (360,180,3) or (360,180,3*29) and how to keep a loop counter in `temp` when it passes down to finding mean stage? ssta_winter = array( data=NA, dim = c(360,180,29)) temp = array( data=NA, dim = c(360,180,3)) for (yr in 1982:2010) { temp <- ssta_sst[,,year_sst==yr & (month_sst>=6 & month_sst<=8)] for (i in 1:360) { for (j in 1:180) { ssta_winter[i,j,] <- mean(temp[i,j,]) } } } > for (i in 1:29){ + print(ssta_winter[180,166,i]) + } [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 [1] 0.2222583 -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-Array-data-loop-selection-tp4358282p4358282.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
