I have a question regarding automatizing simulation runs in R...
I have 500 external data sets for a simulation study that I would like to bring into R to analyze. They have the names data1.dat, data2.dat, ..., dataN.dat
Is there a way to automatize the bringing in of these data sets in R using the read.table function within a looping cycle?
For example... for (j in 1:N){ data_"j" = read.table("data"j".dat, header=F) executable code . . . } bring in the next data set. SAS uses a ampersand "&" to automatize the process. Example code: data _NULL_; set final; filename out "C:\data&k..dat"; file out; put variables; run; I would welcome any insight into how to address this issue. Thank you.
