Hi,

I have this code here and try to use sapply code.  But I got error message that 
I don't really understand to correct.

bt   <- c(24.96874, 19.67861, 23.51001, 19.86868); round(bt,2)
alp  <- c(2.724234, 3.914649, 3.229146, 3.120719); round(alp,2)

bt_alp <- data.frame(bt,alp)

sapply(bt_alp, function(bt,alp) ((bt_m/bt)^alp), bt_m = min(bt))

sapply(bt_alp, function(bt,alp) ((bt_m/bt)^alp), bt_m = min(bt))
Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : unused argument(s) (bt_m = 19.67861)


Thank you for any help given.

I am not clear to what you are trying to do.

Perhaps...

bt   <- c(24.96874, 19.67861, 23.51001, 19.86868); round(bt,2)
alp  <- c(2.724234, 3.914649, 3.229146, 3.120719); round(alp,2)
bt_m <- min(bt)
x <- (bt_m/bt)^alp

sapply is not normally applied to data frames, because data frames are lists of columns, and most people don't want to apply the same algorithm to a bunch of columns. If you did process one row at a time with sapply, you would no longer be able to "see" enough data to compute min(bt) inside the anonymous function.
