?for doesn't return anything help.search("for") doesn't return anything- Is the for loop so prevelant in computer programing that the documentation is implicit or is R paradigm to discourage the use of the for loop.
I will post data probably tonight, but here is my problem. I have preformed an MDS on a set of data. I have the scores of the four axes that are the optimal solution. I want to calculate the euclidean distance between time steps of the ordination. My thought is to use a for loop- calculate distance march to april then calculate the distance from april to may ... Is this the proper way of going about this axis1 axis2 axis3 axis4 march 3 4 6 3 april 5 7 8 5 may 7 3 1 9 ..... thanks Stephen The data is at home and I will post it once I have fooled around with the for loop - if I can not figure it out, but this is the general set up of the problem -- Stephen Sefick Research Scientist Southeastern Natural Sciences Academy Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us feel like gods.
