Re: [R] sum of variables in function

Hi: Assuming that z constitutes the last two elements of your input vector, try2 <- function(x) { n <- length(x) y <- x[1:(n - 2)] z <- x[n - 1] + x[n] sum(y) * z } x0 <- 1:4# result should be 21 x1 <- 1:8# z = 15, result = 21 * 15 = 315 try2(x0) try2(x1) HTH, Dennis On

[R] sum of variables in function

2011-03-10 Thread beatleb
Dear R users, Probably, this is quite a simpe question, but I do not find the proper way to obtain want I need. To explain the problem, I constructed a simple example. Suppose I have the following function: try1<-function(x){ y<-x[1:2] z<-x[3:4] y[1]*(z[1]+z[2])+y[2]*(z[1]+z[2]) } This functio
