You could do that using the options, eg : set.seed(1) x <- rnorm(1:10) y <- letters[1:10] z <- rnorm(1:10)
warn <-getOption("warn") options(warn=2) for (i in list(x,y,z)){ cc <- try(mean(i), silent=T) if(is(cc,"try-error")) {next} print(cc) } options(warn=warn) see ?options under "warn" Cheers Joris On Thu, Jun 24, 2010 at 5:12 PM, Paul Chatfield <p.s.chatfi...@reading.ac.uk> wrote: > > On a similar issue, how can you detect a warning in a loop - e.g. the > following gives a warning, so I'd like to set up code to recognise that and > then carry on in a loop > > x<-rnorm(2);y<-c(1,0) > ff<-glm(y/23~x, family=binomial) > > so this would be incorporated into a loop that might be > > x<-rnorm(10);y<-rep(c(1,0),5) > for (i in 1:10) > {ee<-glm(y~x, family=binomial) > ff<-glm(y/23~x, family=binomial)} > > from which I would recognise the warning in ff and not those in ee, saving > results from ee and not from ff.
