Dear Peter and Uwe Thanks for your suggestions. However, > data[names(count),1,1] <- count[names(count)] Still gives the indexing problem, guess because not all element of count can be found in data.
Found a way round this by > temp<-rep(NA, times=as.numeric(names(count[length(count)]))) > temp[as.numeric(names(count))]<-count > rwname<-rownames(data) > for (i in 1:dim(data)[1]) data[i,1,1]<-temp[as.numeric(rwname[i])] What works for me but I am convinced there is a far more elegant way.

Well, you don't have a row named "names(count)" now do you? Try dropping the quotes. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
