Andre, 1) The matrix you created was called 'x.3', not 'x'. I guess this could be an item in 'The R Inferno', perhaps it falls into Circle 8.3.32.
2) You don't need a loop at all: x.3 <- matrix(rexp(3000, rate=2/3), nrow=1000) This is Circle 3. http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/R_inferno.pdf Pat On 30/06/2012 05:09, andre bedon wrote:
Hi, Wondering if anyone could help me out with this error.Im trying to fill a matrix with random numbers taken from an exponential distribution using a loop: x.3<-matrix(rep(0,3000),nrow=1000,byrow=T)for(i in 1:1000){x[i,]<-rexp(3,rate=2/3)} I get the error message: Error in x[i, ] <- rexp(3, rate = 2/3) : incorrect number of subscripts on matrix Any ideas??? Appreciate any thoughts.
