Hello, There are other types of "empty" objects in R (zero length or dimension). Maybe some of these
x <- list() length(x) x <- matrix(list()) dim(x) <- c(0, 0) x Matlab's [] is the empty matrix so maybe the second works. Other possibilities could be x <- numeric(0) (or integer(0) or character(0)). Trial and error might get you there...
