Hi Alwx99,
Nobody has answered your email, so, I am left with the honour of
disappointing you.
In R, matrices are not dynamically allocated. If you are a C/C++/Fortran/etc
programmer you know what I am talking about.
Lets assume that you are not such programmer. Inserting a row would tell R
to push a little the memory that holds your matrix so that a now row can be
squeezed in. R does not do that, unfortunately. You have to come up with
your own workarounds.
I suggest that you consider rebuilding your matrix each "for" loop cycle
with an infamous rbind. Something like
for (...blah...) {
...blah...
MatrixWithOneMoreRow <- rbind(PartialMatrixAboveRow, NewRow,
PartialMatrixBelowRow)
}
Sorry. I recently discovered that R is not as modern as me and you expected.
No dynamical matrices. More on this?: search this List with "in-place
appending to a matrix".
PLEASE, somebody, prove me wrong!
Your culpritNr1
