Hi all,
I am trying to write a script that will automate the task of running a
Kendall's Tau correlation test on 75 time series that I am interested in.
The code I have written is:
for(i in 1:length(gagehandles)){
dates<-get(paste(gagehandles[i],"_amsd",sep=""))
q<-get(paste(gagehandles[i],"_amsq",sep=""))
taup<-Kendall(dates,q)
print(gagehandles[i])
print(taup)
So basically, I have inputted all the records I am concerned with into R
using the scan function. These are all represented by a four letter
identifier followed by _amsd or _amsq (to distinguish the two variables).
For example, a variable might be hoea_amsd, which has a corresponding
hoea_amsq.
I am trying to write a function that will run through a list of the gage
identifiers ('gagehandles' in the code) and will then runn and Kendall's tau
correlation test on the two variables (suffixes '_amsd' and '_amsq').
It was working when I was using a small subset of my data, but now that I am
trying to look at all 75 series, I am getting the error:
Error in get(paste(gagehandles[i], "_amsd", sep = "")) :
variable names are limited to 256 bytes
It didn't have a problem with the variable names before, so I'm not sure
what's going on now. Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you very much for your help.
Billy
