Based on help files and searching the archives and help from the listserv I
have managed to build my monte carlo program.
However I cannot get the proper syntax for running the loop and storing the
output of each loop (which is a vector) into a matrix.
I took out some of the crazy code I was writing, but here is what I have:
--------------------
rm(list = ls(all = TRUE))
# removes everything
a <-c("A","C","B","A","B","C")
b <-c(10,20,30,40,50,60)
c <-data.frame(a,b)
N=10 #Number of Loops
output.matrix <- matrix(0.0,3,N)
#I need to START LOOP HERE
a <- sample(a, replace=TRUE)
c <-data.frame(b,a)
output.vector <- by(c, a, function(x) sum(x$b))
output.vector <- as.vector(output)
output.vector <- data.frame(output)
#END LOOP here
--------------------------
What I would like to have at the end is the "output.matrix" contain as a
column the "output.vector" from each iteration. The actual data frame I
will be running has 60,000 observations and I am going to run 20000
iterations so speed is important too.
Thanks so much
