Hi all,
I have a question about global and local variables.First of all, a variable
defined in a for loop is it a local or global variable??
R doesn't create a local scope for "for" loops. So it will have the
same scope as other variables created in the same scope.
Second, I'm trying to build a loop in the following way:
I have these 3 data frames
bilanci_2005<-bilanci1[ANNO==2005,]
bilanci_2006<-bilanci1[ANNO==2006,]
bilanci_2007 <--bilanci1[ANNO==2007,]
LOOP:
v=list(2005,2006,2007)
I would recommend using c(2005,2006, 2007) rather than list(), but I
don't think that has much effect.
for (a in v){
anno1=a
anno2=a+1
for (i in 1:length(bilanci_a)) {
Using the name of one variable as part of another name won't cause it to
be magically expanded. You should have set things up differently from
the beginning:
bilanci_subsets <- list("2005" = bilanci1[ANNO==2005,],
"2006" = bilanci1[ANNO==2006,],
"2007" = bilanci1[ANNO==2007,] )
Then you can use
for (i in names(bilanci_subsets)) {
.... bilanci_subsets[[i]] ....

assign(paste(""bilanci",anno1,anno2,sep=""), rbind(paste("bilanci",anno1,anno2,
sep=""),
bilanci_anno2[bilanci_anno2$CFISCALE==bilanci_anno1
[i,]$CFISCALE,],
"bilanci_anno1[i,])
}
}
what I'm trying to do is for example to give the contents of a (so the
values which are in the list named v) to the bilanci variable. In Stata this
means using a particular kind of "".
How can I do this in R?
