Hi, I am having some problems using the if statement correctly. I have used it many times previously so I dona't know what is different with this case. Here is my problem:
I have a 1X10 matrix of values as follows: > H.MC [,1] [1,] 4.257669 [2,] 7.023242 [3,] 4.949857 [4,] 5.107000 [5,] 4.257669 [6,] 4.257669 [7,] 4.257669 [8,] 4.257669 [9,] 4.257669 [10,] 4.257669 What I want to do is replace all the values if 4.257669 with a random number between 3 and 4.5. To do this I have: H.MC.fin <- matrix(0,10,1) for (j in 1:10) { if(H.MC[j] == 4.257669) H.MC.fin[j] <-runif(1,3,4.5) else H.MC.fin[j] <- H.MC[j] } This doesn't seem to do anything and H.MC.fin is the same as H.MC. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
