Try f <- function(nbr){ y<-rnorm(nbr) y1 <- mean(y) plot(y) invisible( y1) } That will return y1 invisibly, so f(100) plots but returns nothing visible but w<-f(100) plots and places the return value in w >>> Dennis Murphy 02/19/10 9:33 PM >>> Hi: Perhaps you want this: f <-

Hi: Perhaps you want this: f <- function(nbr){ y<-rnorm(nbr) y1 <- mean(y) plot(y) list(y1 = y1) } f(100) prints out the mean and executes the plot w <- f(100) executes the plot > w$y1 [1] 0.06965205 returns the mean as a component of the object w. HTH, Dennis On Fri, Feb 19,

Thank you for response. The problem is that using return(y1) in my function formula always returns y1, but what I want is to return it only when I wish, like p.value in t.test(rnorm(100),rnorm(100))$p.value robert -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/retrieve-from-function-tp15

Hi Robert, You need to modify your function to return a value. Something like x <- function(nbr){ y<-rnorm(nbr) y1 <- mean(y) plot(y) return(y1) } -Ista __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help P

Hi, say I got the function: > x=function(nbr){y<-rnorm(nbr);y1 <- mean(y);plot(y)} how can I retrieve value of y1, when I need it. I don't want: > x=function(nbr){y<-rnorm(nbr);y1 <<- mean(y);plot(y)} > y1 I want someting like: "x$y1" and then I get the value Many thanks, robert -- View
