Hi,
See example.
for (i in 1:2) {
for (j in 1:3) {
b_1[i,j]<-rank(c(a1[i,j],a2[i,j],a3[i,j]))[1]
b_2[i,j]<-rank(c(a1[i,j],a2[i,j],a3[i,j]))[2]
b_3[i,j]<-rank(c(a1[i,j],a2[i,j],a3[i,j]))[3]
}
}
The inner codes is really repeated, so i want to change the inner
codes
into loops. Take nn is from 1 to 3,
something like,
for (nn in 1:3) {
b_nn[i,j]<-rank(c(a1[i,j]:a3[i,j]))[nn]
}
Anybody can tell me the correct method to specify the above codes?
There is no correct method. You cannot index on the object name b_nn
that way. R has not been developing using a syntax with that much
flexibility. If you want a 3D array of values, then you could create
b_ijn[i, j, nn] and make assignments to it. But if you tried to do
this with paste and assign, you will spending considerably more time
degbugging it than it is worth and it would likely be more inefficient
than what you have.
