Hi! I need some help to finish my script. I have two tables that I combine randomly to produce a third table. This I do for hundreds of iterations. In the output file I get all the simulated tables after each other. It looks like this (in this case 3 iterations):
output file: [[1]] [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] "GM030005" "WI920024" "CCCC" [2,] "GM930026" "WI920362" "CCCC" [3,] "GM980051" "WI920007" "CGCC" [4,] "GM970009" "WI920417" "CCCC" [5,] "GM920089" "WI920023" "CCCC" [6,] "GM930109" "WI920359" "CCCC" [7,] "GM980007" "WI920428" "CGCC" [8,] "GM940039" "WI920430" "CCCC" [9,] "GM990027" "WI920349" "CCCC" [10,] "GM920222" "WI920410" "CGCC" [11,] "GM930029" "WI920001" "CGCC" [12,] "GM990105" "WI920431" "CCCC" [13,] "GM050009" "WI920430" "CCCC" [14,] "GM920224" "WI920369" "CCCC" [15,] "GM920224" "WI920352" "CCCC" [16,] "GM960028" "WI920427" "CCCC" [17,] "GM940031" "WI920004" "CCCC" [18,] "GM930040" "WI920441" "CCCC" [19,] "GM930040" "WI920441" "CCCC" [20,] "GM050099" "WI920417" "CCCC" [21,] "GM050099" "WI920423" "CCCG" [22,] "GM920096" "WI920370" "CCCC" [23,] "GM920034" "WI920437" "CCCC" [24,] "GM960023" "WI920017" "CCCC" [25,] "GM920031" "WI920430" "CCCC" [26,] "GM920202" "WI920367" "CCCG" [27,] "GM990066" "WI920410" "CCCC" [[2]] [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] "GM030005" "WI920017" "CCCC" [2,] "GM930026" "WI920415" "CCCC" [3,] "GM980051" "WI920028" "CGCC" [4,] "GM970009" "WI920017" "CCCC" [5,] "GM920089" "WI920028" "CCCC" [6,] "GM930109" "WI920353" "CCCC" [7,] "GM980007" "WI920009" "CGCT" [8,] "GM940039" "WI920415" "CCCC" [9,] "GM990027" "WI920423" "CCCG" [10,] "GM920222" "WI920423" "CGCG" [11,] "GM930029" "WI920363" "CGCC" [12,] "GM990105" "WI920362" "CCCC" [13,] "GM050009" "WI920365" "CCCC" [14,] "GM920224" "WI920362" "CCCC" [15,] "GM920224" "WI920410" "CCCC" [16,] "GM960028" "WI920355" "CCCG" [17,] "GM940031" "WI920361" "CCCC" [18,] "GM930040" "WI920356" "CCCC" [19,] "GM930040" "WI920353" "CCCC" [20,] "GM050099" "WI920360" "CCCC" [21,] "GM050099" "WI920353" "CCCC" [22,] "GM920096" "WI920023" "CCCC" [23,] "GM920034" "WI920426" "CCCC" [24,] "GM960023" "WI920024" "CCCC" [25,] "GM920031" "WI920022" "CCCC" [26,] "GM920202" "WI920009" "CCCG" [27,] "GM990066" "WI920001" "CCCC" [[3]] [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] "GM030005" "WI920433" "CCCC" [2,] "GM930026" "WI920408" "CCCC" [3,] "GM980051" "WI920352" "CGCC" [4,] "GM970009" "WI920416" "CCCC" [5,] "GM920089" "WI920022" "CCCC" [6,] "GM930109" "WI920369" "CCCC" [7,] "GM980007" "WI920415" "CGCC" [8,] "GM940039" "WI920022" "CCCC" [9,] "GM990027" "WI920361" "CCCC" [10,] "GM920222" "WI920024" "CGCC" [11,] "GM930029" "WI920437" "CGCC" [12,] "GM990105" "WI920423" "CCCG" [13,] "GM050009" "WI920416" "CCCC" [14,] "GM920224" "WI920423" "CCCG" [15,] "GM920224" "WI920427" "CCCC" [16,] "GM960028" "WI920437" "CCCC" [17,] "GM940031" "WI920441" "CCCC" [18,] "GM930040" "WI920417" "CCCC" [19,] "GM930040" "WI920370" "CCCC" [20,] "GM050099" "WI920015" "CCCC" [21,] "GM050099" "WI920428" "CCCC" [22,] "GM920096" "WI920007" "CCCC" [23,] "GM920034" "WI920009" "CCCG" [24,] "GM960023" "WI920410" "CCCC" [25,] "GM920031" "WI920430" "CCCC" [26,] "GM920202" "WI920015" "CCCC" [27,] "GM990066" "WI920415" "CCCC" Now I would like to compare one of the tables used to create the output tables with every output table, one after the other. In detail, I am comparing row 1 of the "creator" table with row 1 of the first output table and then row 2 of the "creator" table with row 2 of the first output table and so on until row 27 and each row for all columns. Then, when the first output table is finished I go on comparing the first "creator" table with the second table in the output, row for row for all columns. I do this for all iterations. The first "creator" table is called "data_mc". # apply similarity function (lettermatch) to my data for (i in 1:(nrow(data_mc))){ for (y in 1:(ncol(data_mc))) { creator_table <- data_mc[data_mc$Status=="mother",y] output_tables <- ??? output[i,y]<-(lettermatch(creator_table, output_tables)) } } Could you please help me how I have to call up the output tables in the way I need them (described above) for the function "lettermatch"? Maybe I need to change the format of the output file? Thank you.
