I appreciate all the help I have received from this list and also not being flamed because I am new to R. Many of my problems are in automation so far.
I am trying to create multiple objects that are outputs of functions. Here are the tasks: aGAM<-somers2(Pred_pres_a_indpdt[,3,,],population[,23]) aGBM<-somers2(Pred_pres_a_indpdt[,4,,],population[,23]) cGLM<-somers2(Pred_pres_a_indpdt[,5,,],population[,23]) cRF<-somers2(Pred_pres_a_indpdt[,8,,],population[,23]) bGAM<-somers2(Pred_pres_b_indpdt[,3,,],population[,24]) bGBM<-somers2(Pred_pres_b_indpdt[,4,,],population[,24]) bGLM<-somers2(Pred_pres_b_indpdt[,5,,],population[,24]) bRF<-somers2(Pred_pres_b_indpdt[,8,,],population[,24]) ...and so on through the letter f. so the variables (x,y,z in this example) are as follows: xGAM<-somers2(Pred_pres_x_indpdt[,y,,],population[,z]) the GAM, GBM, GLM, and RF are stored in a column y in "Pred_pres_x_indpdt." x is denoting a species, which corresponds to column z in "population," so a:f == 23:28 ~~~~~~~ This may be pushing it, but it would be great if I could get all of these in a matrix of dim[1,96] Here is what I have so far: x <- c("a","b","c","d","e","f") nums <- c(23:28) rank<-function(x){ for(y in nums){ xGAM<-somers2(Pred_pres_x_indpdt[,3,,],population[,y]) xGBM<-somers2(Pred_pres_x_indpdt[,4,,],population[,y]) xGLM<-somers2(Pred_pres_x_indpdt[,5,,],population[,y]) xRF<-somers2(Pred_pres_x_indpdt[,8,,],population[,y]) rank(x) }} #for each species, there is 16 columns of output, so a total of 96 columns is needed x_matrix<-matrix(c(xGAM[1:2],Evaluation.results.TSS[[1]][1,3:4],xGBM[1:2],Evaluation.results.TSS[[1]][2,3:4], xGLM[1:2],Evaluation.results.TSS[[1]][3,3:4],xRF[1:2],Evaluation.results.TSS[[1]][4,3:4]), nrow=1,ncol=16, dimnames=list(c(""), c("x_gam_AUC", "x_gam_Dxy","x_gam_TSS","x_gam_Cutoff","x_gbm_AUC", "x_gbm_Dxy","x_gbm_TSS","x_gbm_Cutoff", "x_glm_AUC", "x_glm_Dxy","x_glm_TSS","x_glm_Cutoff","x_rf_AUC", "x_rf_Dxy","x_rf_TSS","x_rf_Cutoff"))) Thanks again for helping me out.
