Dear R users
I have a list, as follows:
intvl.period.myrs
$Devonian
[1] 4.8 4.2 9.5 5.7
$Ordovician
[1] 7.2 5.1 10.2 1.9
$Silurian
[1] 4.7 3.0 7.8 2.0 3.3 1.6 2.6 2.7
I want to write a loop that will sum up the values in each part, and give me a
vector containing the (in this case 3) summed values
this is what I have so far:
for (i in 1:length(names(intvl.periods.myrs)) {
my.new.vector<-sum(intvl.periods.myrs[i] }
This does not work and probably for obvious reasons.
Thanks
Martin
