Hi. newTS2 =(perm[100.TS2[1]]. perm[100.TS2[2]]. perm[100.TS2[3]]. ... , perm[100.TS2[2000]])
newTS2 is supposed to be a vector of 2000 values. The first value is supposed come from a particular element of the matrix called 'perm'. I thought that perm[100.TS2[1]] would be valid code in R to refer to that element. It is meant to choose the element from 'perm' in the 100th row and in the column indicated by TS2[1]. In other words, TS2[1] is the first element in the TS2 vector. For example, if the first element in the TS2 vector was 5 then I would want to choose the (100,5) element from perm to be the first entry in newTS2. Does this make sense?

This is invalid R code and also not a known mathematical notation for me ....
