Hello,
I get an error but when running colnames(), not mean().
Notes:
1. I have changed the way the residuals are extracted, if there is a
function resid(), the recommended practice is to use it.
2. c("MSE_OLS") and "MSE_OLS" are the identical() objects. Likewise, to
return( c(MSE_OLS) ) is to have only MSE_OLS as the last function line.
I find the latter clearer.
my.experiment <- function() {
OLS <- lm(a ~ b + d)
#MSE_OLS <- mean(OLS$residuals^2)
MSE_OLS <- mean(resid(OLS)^2)
MSE_OLS
}
my.data <- replicate( 500, my.experiment() )
class(my.data) # it's a vector, not a matrix
#[1] "numeric"
colnames(my.data) <- "MSE_OLS"
#Error in `colnames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = "MSE_OLS") :
# attempt to set 'colnames' on an object with less than two dimensions
mean(my.data)
#[1] 105.6951
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas
