Hi Spencer, The an1 syntax is adding regression coefficients (or NAs where a regression could not be done) to the downloaded and processed data, which ends up a matrix. The cbind function adds the regression coefficients to the last column of the matrix (i.e. bind the columns of the inputs in the order given). Simple example below. Not actually any need for the separate cbind commands, could have just used an1=cbind(an,p,t). The cbind function expects all the columns to be of the same length, hence the use of the tryCatch function to capture NA's for failed regression attempts, ensuring that p and t correspond row by row with the matrix.
