Re: [R] repeating a function and combining the results

2013-12-03 Thread Bert Gunter
Arun has given you a number of ways to do what you (seem to) want. If this is fast enough, then you're done. If not, then the key to speeding things up is to do things differently. Note that a 1 x 9 matrix is a just a vector. Since each element of the vector is a "different computation", apparentl

HI, May be this helps: example <- function(X,n){ lst1 <- list() for(i in 1:n){ cell1 <- sample(X,1) cell2 <- sample(X,1) table1 <- cbind(cell1,cell2) lst1[[i]] <- table1 } do.call(rbind,lst1) } #or example1 <- function(X,n){ table1 <- vector() for(i in 1:n){ cell1 <- sample(X,1) cell2 <- sample

As Petr suggests, the dist() function will do much of the work for you. For example ... # example matrix of data nsamples <- 40 nreadings <- 46 dat <- matrix(runif(nsamples*nreadings), nrow=nsamples) # Euclidean distance between the ROWS of dat distance <- dist(dat) Jean JenniferH wrote on

If you want to repeat an entire function, use replicate as in replicate(15,sapply(1,function(x) runif(x))) Here, sapply(1,function(x) runif(x)) draws on uniformly distributed variable. replicate(15,...) is the wrapper function that tells to do this 15 times. The benefit here is that you can repli

Hi: The r functions are vectorized, so the loop is unnecessary: drift <- rbinom(55, 80, 0.4) or within a function, drift <- function(p0 = 0.4, N = 40, ngen = 55) rbinom(ngen, 2 * N, p0) To repeat it 1000 times, you have at least two options: (1) [1000 columns] simmat <- replicate(1000, drif
