Re: [R] Covariance-Variance Matrix and For Loops

Hello again, sapply works. However it does not explicitly call a simplify function, but rather seems to handle the case within its own body of code. I should be able to figure out basically what simplify2array does from the code though. function (X, FUN, ..., simplify = TRUE, USE.NAMES = TRUE)

Re: [R] Covariance-Variance Matrix and For Loops

Thank you Michael. I think my initial problem may have been due to a 'clerical error' upriver, so I appreciate you taking the time to give me this help. Unfortunately, my version of R does not contain simplify2array() and does not find it in help (?simplify2array) - which is strange because I jus

[R] Covariance-Variance Matrix and For Loops

Hello, I am very new to R (as my Subject probably indicates). I want to do something that should, I think, be very simple. I have five vectors in a list and I want to construct a covariance matrix out of them. Given a 5X5 matrix cvm1, and the list of vectors, cvm1_list, I thought the following w
