I guess what you want is: - change the line : xnew<-f(xold,data) into xnew<-f(xold,data, itel) - change your mat function to take itel as an extra parameter: mat<-function (x, data=NULL, itel) {return (1+x^itel)}
That should do the trick (though I haven't checked whether the rest of your code is OK) Nick Sabbe -- ping: nick.sa...@ugent.be link: http://biomath.ugent.be wink: A1.056, Coupure Links 653, 9000 Gent ring: 09/264.59.36 -- Do Not Disapprove -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of zhiji19 Sent: dinsdag 9 november 2010 9:02 To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Help with Iterator Dear Experts, The following is my "Iterator".
