Hello,

I am sorry, but I sincerely don't understand what you are trying to do.

I would like to take the values of observations and map them to a new index.  I 
am not sure how to accomplish this.  The result would look like so:

x[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
becomes
y[2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20]

The "newindex" would not necessarily be this sequence, but a sequence I have 
stored in a vector, so it could be all kinds of values.  here is what happens:

x <- rnorm(10)
myindex <- seq(from = 1,to = 20, by = 2)
y <- numeric()
y[myindex] <- x
y
  [1] -0.03745988          NA -0.09078822          NA  0.92484413          NA  
0.32057426          NA
  [9]  0.01536279          NA  0.02200198          NA  0.37535438          NA  
1.46606535          NA
[17]  1.44855796          NA -0.05048738

So yes, it maps the values to my new indexes, but I have NA's.  The result I 
want would look like this instead:


  [1] -0.03745988
  [3] -0.09078822
  [5] 0.92484413
  [7] 0.32057426
  [9]  0.01536279
  [11] 0.02200198
  [13] 0.37535438
  [15] 1.46606535
  [17]  1.44855796
  [19] -0.05048738


and remove the NA's.  I tried this with na.omit() on x, but it looks like so:

x <- rnorm(10)
myindex <- seq(from = 1,to = 20, by = 2)
y <- numeric()
y[myindex] <- na.omit(x)
y
  [1]  0.87399523          NA -0.39908184          NA  0.14583051          NA  
0.01850755          NA
  [9] -0.47413632          NA  0.88410517          NA -1.64939190          NA  
0.57650807          NA
[17]  0.44016971          NA -0.56313802
