There are nicer ways to formulate the problem (and the solution), but without access to the object all I can is a shot in the dark. ##obtain a vector of variable names vars <- names(Tmese[, -(1:2)]) ##apply the function 'idw.cv' iteratively, each time ##using a 'vars' element as the functions first argument; ##store the results in a list res <- lapply(vars, idw.cv) res
