Hi Kerry,
Right now at each iteration, you just overwrite everything. If you
want a matrix, you need to instantiate Score as a matrix and then
assign the results into each element of it. That said, I do not think
you really need a loop. rpois() is vectorized, so you can in one pass
generate a large vector of data and use that for your model.
We do not have things like T, but something like:
Score <- matrix(NA, nrow = n.simul, ncol = 12)
for (your loop) {
Score[, i] <- your formula
}
each of your models then would be assigned into the ith column of the
Score matrix, giving you the final product you expect.
Cheers,
Josh
