Hi, I have a problem with dynamic appending to a list. Here is the list variable:
clusters <- vector("list", 0) I extended in the function below: cluster <- function (pair, clusters) { found <- FALSE for (i in length(clusters)) { if (length(intersect(pair, clusters[i])) > 0) { clusters[i] <- union(clusters[i], pair) found <- TRUE } } if (!found) { clusters <- list(clusters, as.vector(pair)) } } The function is executed in a loop: for (i in 1:nrow(adjMatrix)) { for (j in 1:nrow(adjMatrix)) { if ((i != j) && adjMatrix[i,j] >0) # the matrix element has to be non-zero in order to be clustered { cat(rownames(adjMatrix)[i], colnames(adjMatrix)[j], "\n") cluster(as.vector(c(rownames(adjMatrix)[i], colnames(adjMatrix)[j])), clusters) } } } But the list variable remains empty (i.e. length(clusters) = 0) even though it should not. Somehow the dynamic extension of the list does not work in this case. Any suggestions?
