Dear All,
I would like to apply two different "for loops" to each set of four columns
of a matrix (the loops here are simplifications of the actual loops I will
be running which involve multiple if/else statements).
I don't know how to "alternate" between the loops depending on which column
is "running through the loop" at the time.
## Set up matrix
J <- 10
N <- 10
y <- matrix(0,N,J)
## Apply this loop to the first two of every four columns ([,1:2],
[,5:6],[,9:10], etc.)
for (q in 1:N){
for(j in 1:J){
if(j %% 2){
y[q,j]=1
}else{y[q,j]=2}
}
}
## Apply this loop to the next two of every four columns
([,3:4],[,7:8],[,11:12], etc.)
for (q in 1:N){
for(j in 1:J){
if(j %% 2){
y[q,j]="A"
}else{y[q,j]="B"}
}
}
I want to get something like this (preferably without the quotes):
> y
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10]
[1,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[2,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[3,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[4,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[5,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[6,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[7,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[8,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[9,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
[10,] "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2" "A" "B" "1" "2"
Any help greatly appreciated!
