Dear Sir, Thanks a lot for your quick solution. But still I will like someone to guide me the solution as per my requirement. The problem is actually I am not looking for the square of each term. I have used it to give some example since I didn't want to confuse the matter. My process is altogether different and I need to use loop. So here is my actual code. I am trying to use Historical simulation and for that I need to calculate LN(New rate / old rate for each of the instrument separately). Here is my actual code - ONS = read.csv('Instrument.csv') n = length(ONS) Y = NULL B = array() for (i in 1 : n) { Y[i] = ONS[i] j <- 1 for (j in 1:(length(Y[[i]])-1)) { B[j] <- log((Y[[i]][j+1])/(Y[[i]][j])) j <- j+1
