## using a looping approach ## instantiate a vector to hold results results <- vector("numeric", length = length(x)) for(i in 1:201) {# R starts indexing at 1, not 0 results[i] <- dat[i, "A"] + dat[i, "B"] + dat[i, "C"] + dat[i, "D"] + dat[i, "E"] + dat[i, "F"] + dat[i, "G"] } ## find and plot cumulatively values plot(x, cumsum(results)) You may be wondering why I put all the variables in a data frame. It is because it will be much easier in the long run. This accomplishes the same thing as the loop, with a fraction of the effort and much much faster (loops can be slow in R, and vectorizing is preferred). plot(x, cumsum(rowSums(dat))) rowSums() is a vectorized function that finds the (duh) sums of each row, then I just find the cumulative sum, and plot.
