Dear all,
I have just sent an email with my problem, but I think no one can see the red part, beacuse it is black. So, i am writing again the codes: rm(list=ls()) #remove almost everything in the memory set.seed(180185) nsim <- 10 mresultx <- matrix(-99, nrow=1000, ncol=nsim) mresultb <- matrix(-99, nrow=1000, ncol=nsim) N <- 200 I <- 5 taus <- c(0.480:0.520) h <- c(1:20/1000) alpha1 <- c(1:82) aeven1 <- alpha[2 * 1:41] aodd1 <- alpha[-2 * 1:41] alpha2 <- c(1:40) aeven2 <- alpha2[2 * 1:20] #Create an object to hold results. M <- matrix(0, ncol=82, nrow=nsim) Mhb0 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim) Mhb1 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim) Mchb0 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim) Mchb1 <- matrix(0, ncol=20, nrow=nsim) for (i in 1:nsim){ # make a matrix with 5 cols of N random uniform values u <- replicate( 5, runif(N, 0, 1) ) # fit matrix u in another matrix of 1 column mu <- matrix(u, nrow=1000, ncol=1) # make auction-specific covariate x <- runif(N, 0, 1) mx <- matrix(rep(x,5), nrow=1000, ncol=1) b0 <- matrix(rep(c(1),1000), nrow=1000, ncol=1) #function for private cost cost <- b0+b0*mx+mu #bidding strategy bid <- mx+((I+1)/I)+((I-1)/I)*mu mresultb[,i] <- bid mresultx[,i] <- mx qf <- rq(formula = mresultb[,i] ~ mresultx[,i], tau= 480:520/1000) # Storing result and does not overwrite prior values M[i, ] <- coef(qf) QI <- (1-0.5)/(I-1) M50b0 <- M[,41] M50b1 <- M[,42] Mb0 <- matrix(M[,aodd1], nrow=nsim, ncol=20) Mb1 <- matrix(M[,aeven1], nrow=nsim, ncol=20) for (t in aeven2){ Mhb0[,t] <- M[,(41+t)]-M[,(41-t)] Mhb1[,t] <- M[,(42+t)]-M[,(42-t)] } } The problem is in the part: for (t in aeven2){ Mhb0[,t] <- M[,(41+t)]-M[,(41-t)] Mhb1[,t] <- M[,(42+t)]-M[,(42-t)] } Since I want the software to subtract from column (41+t) of matrix called M the column (41-t), in such a way that the matrix Mhb0 will show me the result for each t organized by columns. Does anybody know what exactly I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
