Dear all,

I am new to programming in R.

You see to think there is a "++" operation in R. That is not so.

I deal with microarray data,which is a data frame object type. I need to carry out a few statistical procedures on this, one of them being the pearson corelation. I need to do this between each row which is a gene. So the desired result is a square matrix with the pearson corelation value between each row. So the first column would be (1,1)=0,(1,2),(1,3) and so on.

I do not understand what that means. You should offer either a minimal dataset or at the very least the results of str(a).


I uploaded the data frame as "a":-

If by that you mean you made a failed effort at attaching the data in a file, then you need to read the Posting Guide for what the server will accept as a file type.


a <- read.csv("a.csv", header= TRUE, row.names=1)

and then I started the script:-

pearson <- function(a){
r <- matrix[x,y]
for(x in as.vector(a[,1], mode="double")){

I do not see a need for as.vector here or at any point later. a[,1] would already be a vector and if it is not numeric to begin with, then you are going to get junk.

x++{
for(y in as.vector(a[2,], mode="double")){
y <- x+1
x++
{
r <- (cor.test(as.vector(as.matrix(a)[x,], mode="double"), as.vector(as.matrix(a)[y,], mode="double"))$p.value)
}
}
}
r[x,y]==r[y,x]
}
return(r)
}

However whenever I run it,I get the error:-

pearson(a)
Error in matrix[x, y] : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable

Please help!
