Hi Bill,

I didn't make the original post, but its pretty similar to some thing i would have queried the list about. But, as an R dilatante i find more curious your question-

"...but why would you want to do so?"

Is this because you'd typically use the given nine lines of explicit code to carve up a single dataset into nine symmetrical variants ? Or that some contextual information may affect how you would write the for() loop?

As i lack the experience to know any better, i perceive your for() loop as de rigour in efficient use of R, and the preferance of all experienced R user's. But not having any formal education in R or role models as such, its only an assumption (compeletely ignoring for the moment processing efficiency/speed, rounding error and such).

But which i now question! Explicit, simple crude looking code; or, something which demands a little more proficiency with the language?

cheers,

Karl
