Hi all I'm trying to create a matrix, A, with an unknown variable delta. The code I have so far is:
D<-c(-1, -2/3, -1/3, 0, 1/3, 2/3, 1) A<-matrix(NA,nrow=7,ncol=7) for (i in 1:7) { for (j in 1:7) { A[i,j]<-exp(-((D[i]-D[j])/delta)^2) } } Of course, R comes up with an error message because delta is not yet defined, but works if I plug in a value for delta. However, I want R to use the term delta in the matrix A, because I'm trying to estimate delta in another equation that is written in terms of A. Can anyone help?
