Hi, my dataset is the result of the function "density" on another set of data. It refers to that data in its variable "call", though since all the results are actually reproduced (except that I've removed all rows bar 10), I am not sure why R still needs it. But I've understood now why your code d

Michael, here is the data I am working with. I've shortened it without, I trust, changing its nature. I am not using any package other than what is pre-installed. Many thanks, Gail > dput(list.example) list (structure(list( x = c(379.455895016957, 380.116796110287, 380.7776

Thank you!!! But I realise I've simplified my data to the point that your solution doesn't actually work -- not your fault, mine! My list is actually more complicated than what I presented it to be; it's not composed of numerical matrices but of lists, each being composed of 7 columns, the first tw

ix.max <- for (i in 1:3) { mapply ( max, list [[i]] [2] ) } for each column's max and total.max <- for (i in 1:3) { max(mapply ( max, list [[i]] [2] )) } for the total max, but neither works (result: NULL). What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot, Gail -- View this message in cont
