Hello Mike. I'm not clear on why you would want to "state your g parameter" (In fact, I don't even know for sure what you mean by that) with > lamda<-c(g=0.2)
If you want a variable (vector) g containing 0.2, why don't you simply do: > g<-0.2 If you need that lamda thing for some reason later on, you can always do: > lamda<-c(g=g) Afterwards to get the same effect. If you have some reason not to do this: With your statement, you create a vector lamda, with one item in it, and that first and only item is named "g". So from your statement, you can access g by: lamda["g"] as in: > Q<-exp(lamda["g"]) It looks like you've got a misunderstanding of how R variables work, but maybe I just misunderstood your question...

I first state my g parameter with: > lamda<-c(g=0.2) However, when I do the next step R is telling me "object g not found" Here is my next step: > Q<-exp(g) ??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
