Yes, it can cause problems. And speaking for myself, I'd say it's not
worth the risk, because it's easy enough to find alternative variable
names that are close enough to the notation of your formulas that
remembering should be no problem. For example, "tt", "cc", and "mmatrix"
might do it.

Thanks, that was just an example I came up with. I was just curious if
using same variable names in different functions would cause problems.
Especially with reserved words.

Hi list,
I am writing several functions and running out variable names. I am using
words such as "t", "c", "matrix" to keep the notation same as formulas I am
using.
For example I have,
unnormalized <- function(t, x, y){
val <- rnorm(t, mean=x, var=y)
return(val)
}
metropolis <- functio
