Hello,
I'm trying to run a loop that will subset my data into specific sets by
regions and by race/ethnicity. I'm trying to do this fairly compactly, and
I cannot get this to work.
A simple version of the code that I am trying to run is:
names - c(white, black, asian, hispanic)
for(j in
Have a look at ?split

I've looked through ?split and run all of the code, but I am not sure that I
can use it in such a way to make it do what I need. Another suggestion was
using lists, but again, I am sure that the process can do what I need, but
I am not sure it would work with so many observations.

You're looking for the assign() function.
See the first example in the help page for assign()
Something like
assign( paste( j,'.cd',i,'es.wash',sep='') , 1 )
instead of
names.cd[i].es.wash - 1
paste() assembles the name as a character string, and then assign()
assigns a value to a
think that you could just put all
your subsets into a list and use lapply but I'm simply guessing without seeing
the data.

Since you did not follow the posting and provide data, here is a way
that you can split by race region and perform operations on each
subset of the data frame:
# test data
n - 4500
x - data.frame(race=sample(c('a','b','c'), n, TRUE),
+ region=sample(1:9, n, TRUE),
