Hi all
Based on the feedback from my last e-mail to the forum, I put together the attached script. It illustrates my problem more completely. The input data are vectors but in a real application, they would be matrices. For each read of a list in data, I sample from a table (s_r) to obtain values of the noun, recruit. For illustration, I NBed that line and assigned recruit to 30000. My idea was to have each table be an independent series of calculations from the same starting n. Thus, here, the output should be two identical tables. You will see that the first table estimates each year's n (each row is a year in this example) but then the calculations run over to the second table using the n from the last row of the first table rather than the same starting row as the first table. I have used looping and counters to get around this in earlier versions but there should be a matrix way of doing this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Bob
