On Exercise 5, how about this (I'm rather new to R as well, so no guarantee this is right and I'm sure there are more efficient ways to do this!):
fun1 <- function(x) { y <- 0 for (i in 1:length(x)) {y[i] <- (x[i]-mean(x))^2} sum(y)/(length(x)+1) } fun2 <- function(x) { y <- 0 for (i in 1:length(x)) {y[i] <- (x[i]-mean(x))^2} sum(y)/(length(x)) } x <- rexp(15) fun1(x) fun2(x) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/some-R-exercises-tp4619850p4620143.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.
