Hi Josh, Petr I checked that testStatistics is a function but it is not defined in the code anywhere else. But if I am able to remove it and give the input by my own to the function which calls testStatistics, it might work.
The hurdle here for me is that the input is a set* of values and each value has 2 attributes. Each variable is generated per iteration and has the numerator, denominator as its attributes and a value. But when I read it in a loop, i face two problems: 1. only the last i value is stored and the rest are NULL. 2. the one stored does not contain the attribute values. Each value looks like this: >t [1] 3.897434 attr(,"numerator") [1] 0.0002134457 attr(,"denominator") [1] 5.47657e-05 Eg: for (i in 1:5) { t<- test.functional.t(res.em1,res.em2,mint,maxt,se.m=0,points=300) ### function calling } >t [[1]] NULL [[2]] NULL [[3]] NULL [[4]] NULL [1] 3.897434 Any suggestions. Thanks for all the help. :) Regards Aparna On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 11:01 PM, Petr PIKAL <petr.pi...@precheza.cz> wrote: > Hi > > Difficult to without knowing what objects you are operating your > functions. > > I get > > > test.functional.t(1:10,1:10,3,4) > Error in res.em1$eta : $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors > > moderated.functional.t(1:10) > Error in testStatistics["numerator", ] : incorrect number of dimensions > > And without suitable objects for those functions to operate it is > impossible to come with reasonable suggestion. > > Anyway there is a function on your system which is called testStatistics > and you can not subset functions, hence your error.
